PODxt vs GNX3 vs Native Instruments Guitar Rig

Does anyone here try these guitar processors? Note that Guitar Rig is a software.
I bought a PODxt but wanna more about the differences among them.
Which sounds better?

I went with a Genesis 3 (similar to the GENx3) because I don't do metal and the effects & clean guitar sounds were superior to my ears. I'm more pop, country, ballads, jazz.

The Podxt has it over the rest for crunch however and if I was doing a metal, rock type thing would have opted for it's sounds. The basic amp simulations and distortion are in the "best of category" emulation with this unit. The effects however, phase, chorus, whammy, octaves etc, were nicer on the Digitech products, at least to my ears.

Most of the great guitar sounds are really slighlty grunged up but deeply layered so a Sans Amp is also a very viable option.

With all of these type units, you have to tweak the EQ to really simulate an amp. It seems the default settings never do you justice. The range of 150-300 Hz is crucial to emulating an amp sound. Most mixers will roll off this area but, out of a modeler, you need just a little to get that speaker pumping effect.

Oh man, just go to line6.com and read PODxt's ad, it has so many effects you've ever dreamed of. But I agreed with Middleman about Sans Amp.
I play mostly Nu Metal so what I need is something could give me a high quality Metal sound and good amp simulator. I think PODxt is the best that a student like me can afford it.
Hey man, I know that in Singapore Line6 is saling off so much !! A head+cabinet combo worth 2400$ has a price of 700$ !!! Great deal huh?
