1. The musical instrument voices are of a lesser quality than the native synthesizer card included in prior models.

Wow, I wouldn't have thought that was possible! Even in 2001 when I bought my MarkII XG I felt the synth sounds were lacking and had more in common with Yamaha's PSR range than a professional synth (actually, it seems its a modified DB50XG soundblaster expansion card). Surely they must be better 10+ years on in a unit that costs £1400 ($2400)

Thanks for your reply on this - I've been wondering the same thing, given the difficulty in getting the option to demo the unit up front. It's making me think twice about spending anything on it!
