I suppose it depends on the editing. I personally prefer to keep that "airyness" of the swinging sac in my mixes, but I know some guys only want the attack of the actual sactone.
I was reading in an old issue of Mix that Alan Parsons brought in noted Jazz Clarinetist Frankie "one-nut" Worthington so that he could layer his "chimey" claps over the regular claps on Pink Floyd's "Time".
