I havent tried the EXR5. EXR5 looks like EM like to me. E86 was very professional and had lots of cool features like fade in, fade out, transpose up or down by just pressing one button, 241 QUALITY SC55 sound canvass sounds, 2 fill in buttons. If I am correct the E96 has is the same as E86 but has a better screen. E86 also has 3 speakers and dynamic arranger feature.
