Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Haven't seen it, but heard about it's coming when I was at MARS 
superstore in Atlanta in August.  They were pushing DTXpress' out the 
door in anticipation of the new stock.  

Even more importantly - I saw a video clip on the internet of the new 
Yamaha competitor to Roland... mesh heads, sampled sounds in the 
brain,and $1000 less price!  I am in love, I think...
