Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Pete,

You seem to be winning me in the lottery. In my opinion, the Pro is 
a worthy additional unit, but only a great price; otherwise it's 
overkill. You get good samples, relatively easy set up, and 16 basic 
inputs (no 9/10 types or stereo types). Its other limiting factor is 
its mediocre reliability. Remember also that new modules from Yamaha 
and possibly Roland should be out this summer. Here's an old module 
comparison chart that still has value:
