I recently purchased Fantom Xa, the Rom on Xa sucks, it is worse then an AWE SoundBlaster Live with SF2 technology. I would not wish XA crap on my worst enemy, so I returned it 2 days later to guitar center. I also owned a Motif6 Classic which has nice Arps and decent sounds but 60 voice Polyphony,.... I wanted more, so I went back to guitar center & tried TRITON EXTREME and MOTIF ES, I liked motif ES because it has lost of sounds that sound realistic and useable along with crazy amount of Arps( I LOVE AREPS) and EQ on all 16 Channels!in a musical sequence that is very important, KORG Extreme sounded good in combi mode had digital outwith and A big touch screen and name "KORG" on it BUT! in multi mode sound did not sound as good and had less polyphony so I purchased a Motif ES sold my original motif on Ebay and called it a day. I say for $900 more get an ES it’s well worth the price, I did buy RAM for it and a SM card but that was only $115 of Ebay… 256 MB RAM PC100 and 128 MB SM CARD....
