I like Buddy. He's been the best addition to the band since the (current) core 4. Tim is not bad by any stretch, it's just his placement in the mix is too high. But the last few tours that's been a little better.

That said, the band was originally centered around having a violin. It's what made their sound unique. The songs definitely miss it and from what I heard of either Buddy or Tim trying to cover the violin parts doesn't work.
