If the kit that you found for $775 is a DTXpressI, and you have 
enough money, buy the III. Apart from the risks that always apply to 
buying something used, the III has better cymbal voices, three-sound 
capability for cymbals and snare instead of two, a more collapsible 
rack, and maybe another thing or two that I can't remember. If the 
kit that you found is a DTXpress II in decent condition, and you need 
to save money, you could certainly do worse. The standard version of 
the III kit is not so different from the II, except for then new 
improved cymbals, which we can't profile for you yet. The IIISP is an 
entirely different story. If money were no object, that's the one I'd 
recommend.
