I actually think P25 sounds pretty goood on my 436 most of the time.
It's not Analog of course.
Also keep in mind..They mostly don't give a *#$% what it sounds like on OUR Scanners.
Simulcast can be a different story.

Non simulcast Tower.
Some Units seems to sound worse than others as well.

Spokane Reg. Comm System 800mhz P25 Phase 1

Non Simulcast Tower
The Scanner is not liking the Simulcast towers on both of these systems...That works for me..
Just Scanning with all Sites Enabled since they're not particularly big systems.
I have been to a few places that had TRBO radios that sounded atrocious (and being very nice)
Guess they get these Shiny new radios spend a ton of money, it sound like a$$ and don't want to spend any more $ to get them setup properly.
