"Thank you so much!"...

Well my honest opinion, I thought the piano voice was superb (definitely better than Yamaha's), but other than that nothing impressed me very much. The styles sound very synthetic, despite some good samples in there... there seems to be a lack of expressive control over the samples used in the voices. For example the sax sounds really good until he begins playing a few notes and then clearly it sounds sampled. Way too much pitch bend in the sax lines on the styles. Organ's were nice though, great bass sounds which I feel Yamaha's lack (overall in the bass section), but again the style arrangements leave a lot to be desired.
I'd say its probably great for pop arrangements or strong piano based work, but not so for acoustic and natural instrumental arrangements. I listened to quite a few of the styles, I don't think there's any comparison to Yamaha styles but in its favor, the Roland does have some nice sounds and a thicker and weightier bottom end.
