Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Dtxpress does not have any advantages over DTX (ver.2). But new 
DtxpressII has triple zone snare. That is you can get three different 
sounds (one main, two rims) out of one pad.

Obvious advantages of DTX: It has more inputs (one stereo, two mono), 
it can layer five voices (as opposed to two in Dtxpress). It has a 
better user interface. It has slightly more sounds.

Same pads can be used on both (except triple zone pad can only be 
used in DtxpressII). Rim shots, chokes are possible on both (with 
proper pads). If Dtxpress and DTX have the same price, then 
definitely DTX. If you think triple zone snare is useful, then 
DtxpressII.
