Most of the differences lie in the interface of the two. The EM2000 soounds are also in the VA7. Most of the styles are similar. The sequencer, effects, zip drive, style creator are all very similar. Most players find the EM2000 faster to move around than the VA7. The big difference is that the VA7 has one more entire bank of new sounds, 128 vs 64 voice polyphony and a vocal sampler called a Varaphrase Sampler. The EM2000 has been discontinued for about 1 year now and so the only new choice can be the VA7.
