Ricardo -

I've just bought the Roland - but still like to check in here from 
time to time for general tips. The main difference is the dual zone 
cymbals and choking ability on the symbols. Also, the brain itself is 
very easy to use on the fly - big buttons for changing the preset 
songs and kits (you can use a stick end rather than your finger).
I didn't really audition the DTX very well, but the sounds seemed OK 
to me at the time. I'm very happy with the Roland sounds, but other 
than doing a direct comparison its difficult to say which is bets for 
sounds. Sure the Roland is more expensive but the difference in price 
for a couple of dual zone cymbals for the DTX might just make it 
about the same price - you still have to buy the bass drum pedal for 
both so the price thats advertised is not the end of it. 

let your ears be the judge for the sound, and compare both at the 
same time for the ease of use. (PS I have loads of Yamaha gear so I 
have no particular brand favourite)

Good luck
