not me chief... i just wanna replicate a sound sometimes because its good production or its funky, then i put my own twist on it...
Yeah I'm in that camp too. :)

What I meant was the act of replicating almost verbatim what somebody else has accoumplished. Hard trance unfortunately went down that route a while back which is why most of it's so boring IMO. I know it's not always the case, but many times (in my experience anyway) the biggest egotists have been DJs and producers from this domain or there abouts. Maybe it's just me. I hope so.

I guess there are occations when you'd want to create a very similar sound for remixes or something, but you'd hopefully still leave your own mark on the thing otherwise it's a somewhat pointless excercise.
