yeah, i agree...experimentation is the key...
acid and acid techno should be based heavilly around a trippy lead/bass sound, and the track should progress to a swirling trippy peak after the break down, its the anticipation of the main lead/bass line that is the main driving force behind acid and acid technos popularity,unlike techno which relies nowadays on over compression and looped patterns and beats, which in my opinion starves the genre of any soul or emotion...and ultimately has lead to the current state of play with regards record sales and the dwindling popularity of techno, its this soul or track "personality" which makes acid and acid techno so dancefloor and party friendly...think of the great classic acid tracks...they all seem to have a personality or atmosphere about them...everyone (even if they dont know it) loves a 303!!!
