The premium on polyphony goes up only to the extent that a module 
offers possibilities for simultaneous notes. For instance, the 
ability to stack five drum voices (as opposed to the Xpress' two) or 
to build chords or short musical phrases on pads can quickly use up 
available polyphonic real estate. Of course, a company could also 
offer high polyphony as a selling point, though, as Paul says, more 
is better, even if the law of diminishing returns (at least for most 
of us) applies.
