I'm currently testing this preset and i'll give you feedback.

edit: I don't hear that much difference in the quality at 32 kbit/s AAC+ v2 44.1 KHz with parametic stereo.

I've tested it in few types of music (see atached files) and i *think* the preset has much more effect on guitars. So in short this preset is not bad and it does really good job for unprocessed audio, but, when the audio is processed it doesn't improve it significantly.
