Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I'm planning on buying one of the command stations here in the next
couple o days but I have a few questions first:

1. Can it import MIDI files?

2. I'm planning to use it as my main sequencer (I too am ditching
software)
Will it work for this? Do any of you have any experience using it so?

3. Is the MP7 just for hip/hop /rnb style or does it have some good pads
and lead sounds?

4. I worried the command station (XL7) is a "one trick pony" (just for
dance type music).  I do synth type psychedelic rock..kinda like an
updated pink floyd with autechre style rhythms and melodies.  Will this
thing do that or is it a dance machine only? 


Thanx in advance..
