Unfortunately, the XV3080 lacks the extra COSM effects of the XV5080. Oh Well, I suppose, it's a fair bit cheaper and we can't have everything!!

I hope Roland continue to support the older SRJV series of expansion cards because even though the XV's are now the latest thing to replace the older JV's and XP's, many people will no doubt still be using the older units (like myself!) and the XV's also accept these cards. Yes, it would be nice of Roland to supply a dedicated SRJV piano card in much the same vain as the SRX card. No doubt it wouldn't quite be up to the SRX board's standard (8mb as opposed to 64mb!!) but it would still crap all over the plain vanilla acoustic piano's found in the JV's factory presets.
