This is what I can tell you about my experience with both.
I, like you, had been hesitant to record acoustic drums in a less than perfect room so I had done the electronic kit route triggering samples.
I have played and recorded both electronic & acoustic drums for the past 20 plus years. I record in a small basement studio that has a concrete floor, a low (~7ft) acoustic tile drop ceiling with just a carpet on the floor, and reflective wall surfaces. So, I invested a significant amount of money (well over 4K) in an electronic rig that included, Hart drums, Roland TD-20 & TD8, and every drum sample software package you can think of. This setup produced real feel/sounding drum tracks that I was happy with (or so I thought).
However, all that changed when I had an opportunity to record a demo for another band that used acoustic drums. I was utterly amazed that I was able to capture a decent drum sound (the way they sounded in the room), right out of the gate. This gave me tremendous hope. After much researching and tweaking, I use the recorderman overhead setup and have consistently got very good sounding drum tracks in a room that is less than optimal.
Sine then, I’ve invested in a new acoustic kit and have never looked back. The electronic rig has since been relegated to my practice/workout crap out on kit. I wish I just had tried acoustics straight away, I would have never spent the 4K on the electronic rig; although, I would have invested that cahs in some other studio gear.
If you have Acoustics, I'd recommend spending some time trying to record them before running to an electronic solution. Even the high-end Roland brains (e.g. TD-20) do not produce anywhere near "real" sounding drums on recodings so if you go electronic, you will end up triggering samples (i.e., DKFH, BFD, Addictive) therefore, don't waste money on a "high-end" brain just for MIDI.
