I asked a similar question and was told to search the Yahoo archives
(thanks to Steve The Composer for the tip - boy the Yahoo search sure
is painful!) and the archives at Harmony Central's forums for posts by
aeon. 

What I found was an overwhelming percentage of favorable reviews of
the Vintage Collection ROM - they like the synths of course but
surprisingly, the electric pianos and drums get high marks as well. 
aeon's fave combo is the Vintage, the XL ROM, and the Techno Construction.

Most of the reviews I found of the Beat Garden were bad.

You said two genres.  Hip hop and what is the other one?

Good luck!  I'm still waiting to get my Command Station.  I was
supposed to get it today but there's a mixup... I'm getting an XL-7
instead of an MP-7 now.
