XP-80 is much better than an QS7.

Soundwise... that's objective, but I really enjoy the roland's pads.

1) There are many expansion cards (SR-JV80-nn) for the XP-80 and you can have 4 installed.

2) I don't think the QS7 has an onboard sequencer. And the XP-80's onboard seq is very good.

3) Possibly the biggest reason an XP-8- is better than an QS7 is the "multi layer performances" than you can set up. This feature is fantastic fro live use. And this feature can also be used to control 16 zones, external and/or internal.

I would expect to pay about 800 for an excellent condition XP-80 but I'd only spend 450 for a QS7. (or QS7.1)


Hope this helps.
Best wishes
