Question about quality of encounters [SPOILERS]

Spoilers in the thread below ! Don't read if you are playing or going to play War of the Burning Sky


I'm considering getting WotBS subscription for new 4e campaign. Before going into it, I would like to ask you about something which is a kind of my pet sleeve with 3rd party 4e adventures... quality of encounters.

Things given in Dungeon by WotC are interesting. Every encounter has some tactical possibilities included, there is mix of monsters encompassing various roles, terrain plays a big part in combat.

I have seen quite the opposite in one of 3rd party modules.
Encounter 1) 8 identical zombies in square room
Encounter 2) 6 identical guards on the street
Encounter 3) 12 identical barbarians in the forest
Some people have not got the idea behind 4e...

And here comes my question. Looking at first two modules (I suppose that second one comes out any day), how will you rate the combat encounters as far as creativity/tactical possibilities/etc are concerned?
