I think the main appeal is getting something from your childhood (if your old enough) that used to be sold in the stores but is no longer available.
With Gros Michel, I believe we're talking more "home grown" than "store". And while eating a banana, one ate as a child, may have a certain, nostalgic appeal, the idea of getting to eat a banana you missed out on, in life, creates a stir in itself !
In short, the more different nanners, the better, I say !!
Definitely gotta taste-test a Muraru Mshale. Sounds Awesome!!
