Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

What other brands are there? I did a search, but could not come up 
with anything... Also, I dont think rolands makes the pm-16 anymore.  
The TMC-6 is $250, and only has 6 inputs... I might as well spend 
another $100 and get another dtxpress module to get a few more 
inputs...
