Emax

I do use both an Emax II (4Mb) and ESi-32 (32Mb) and I can tell you it's just not the 
same. The ESi-32 does not sound remotely as nice as the Emax II does, plus it does not 
have an internal hard drive option which means taking it live requires me to take my 
removable media drive which I don't like to do and lastly it doesn't have the three sub 
outs the Emax II has either unless you get the turbo board. 

Sure the ESi-32 is better for editing and sampling and it has far more filters and 
supports SMDI transfers, but the reason why so many people are still using Emax II's 
(including NIN, DM, Orbital, and a slew of others) is because it sounds so similar to the 
original Emax and sounds far better for drums and analogue samples.
