I've noticed this. On *certain* midi files, playmidi sounds better,
because it's timing seems a bit more robust. For instance, I have a midi file
called "dethstar.mid" which I added some extra voices to, and playmidi plays it
great, but when I play it with adagio, the trumpet voices sound a bit warbled.

See above.

Maybe we need to combine the capabilities of both. Adagio seems much
better as far as handling reverb properly etc.
