Couldn't agree more. All mesh pads that I've tried (Roland, Pintech, one other I can't remember the name of) suffered from this.
The Yamaha kits mentioned here use rubber pads, so they are immune to this problem. The really high end Yamaha uses real drum heards I think, but I could be wrong about that.
Here's some dirt on the Prodigy kit. Looks like it's made from practice pads, which is not a bad thing, but you could probably do it yourself for less since they are single trigger anyhow.
