I haven't used the DTXpress, but I have used both the DTXpress II and the DTXplorer. As stated, the DTXplorer is more limited as far as pads go, but I will say that the DTXplorer has much better cymbal sounds than my DTXpress II. Most of the cymbals and pretty much all of the HiHat sounds in the II are not realistic at all. I'm kind of questioning whether or not to use it for live performances or to get something else. If you aren't concerned with the pad expansion issues, I'd personally go with the DTXplorer because of the cymbal sounds.
