The cumberlands have more class 5 bad ass runs than WNC.  I can do the math if you don't believe me.  I'll see your Raven Fork and raise you a Bear.  Personally, I would rather be 30 minutes further from the Raven Fork and 2 hours closer to the Bear, but to each his own.  

Now if you are referring to water quality, then I would agree that the plateau is nothing to brag about, though there are a few streams that are pristine and magical.  I have found though that alot of people who dis the plateau have really not done any good runs on it.  I would suggest trying:

Bear
Henderson
Possum
Cain/North Chick
LRC
Johnnies
Morgan
Little Clear Creek
Island Creek
Duskin Creek
Roaring Creek
Middle Creek

These are awesome runs and are worth being on anyone's radar.
