Hey WM! I feel the same way you do about the XV line. I've had an XP for a couple of years now and am not really all impressed buy the XV line. I think that with a Bass & Drums expansion and a Session Board, you'd be in the same boat as the XV line.

I have the Hip-Hop expansion board as well as a couple of Experience boards. With the SC880 in combination with the XP, I feel as though I never run out of sounds. It's like the ultimate expansion.

With a JV2080, you get to expand with 8 boards! Man, that's 2900+ patches when fully expanded. The SRX boards onlu come with I think 64 patches on board, where the SRJV has over 250 on each board.

Look around man, you' find something.

The Infamous EPU.
