I'm not suggesting that PDX6 toms and CY12 cymbals feel like actual drums, lol. What the mesh pads and heavy rubber cymbals do is invite you to 'simulate' a more natural way of playing. Like "digging in" more, instead of being hyper aware that you are playing little rubber triggers.Rubber toms and minimalistic cymbal pads are still "pro grade" triggers, but it's more like playing a keyboard or midi controller than an actual drum set.
The TD-11 module has that "supernatural modeling" which will cooperate pretty nicely with the way you dig in to the mesh of the toms, or how you stick the CY-13 extra carefully for a tasty ride pattern. The TD-11 is sensitive and brutally precise when making a recording. So having a slightly more "natural" response under your stick can go a long way.
The more expensive pads are just there to help you pretend better, which will hopefully help you relax and makes your drum tracks feel and sound more natural.
