Terry, what makes you think that A&R reps, indie labels, music publishers and music libraries aren't "looking for the "Golden Needle in the Haystack" type submission"? As far as I'm concerned, the experience that most folks have with Taxi reflects the reality of the industry for the professional songwriter. It's a tight, competitive market, looking for commercially viable music, and competition is fierce. Good & pretty good don't cut it when you are up against pro writers and pro producers.

As I said above, you will find people who don't like the Taxi model, and you will find people for whom Taxi is not/would not be a fit. However, Taxi's model is successful for the dedicated folks I know who are composers/producers for film/tv.

Let it be said, I don't part well with my money, so you can bet if I'm a member of Taxi, or SongU or SAC, or whatever, that I feel I am making a valuable investment in my career that's part of my long term vision for success.
