I have an EIII keyboard and that is a great sound.
Let me tell you a fact--The EIII was rushed to market too early and not a single
EIII that left EMU ever worked 100%.
Every single one of these beasts had a fault---the
most common been bad memory chips, faulty keyboard, switchs not working
intermittly on front panel!!!!

guess, though.
I have an EII+ (as well as a CMI IIx) and I've always
thought that it kicks the crap out of the CMI
sample-quality wise. I mean, I love my Fairlight and
all but I think the EII is by far the best sounding
8-bit sampler. MUCH longer sample time too. Too bad
the file handling's so wretched.
Just my opinion, of course. :-)
