No dissapointment here. I am definitely getting my moneys worth out 
of this machine.

I think this goes back to the patch editing discussions last month. 
The sound engine in the xl-7 is aimed at people who already have some 
production gear, rather than the bedroom DJ set.

WOW that was a lot of work. Its a good thing it was worth it :) I am 
very impressed how clean that track sounds considering the amount of 
processing you did. I may have to rethink some plugin purchases. 
There is still more dynamic range than most techno and the usual 
compression muddiness is ... well.. clear. I agree, basslines out of 
the xl-7 do not require much processing. I think my downstairs is 
getting a little grumpy.
