Before you decide on any E-mu or Akai, I strongly urge you to take a hard, close look at Kurzweil, especially the K25. Granted, it may cost a bit but it won't leave you longing for any other synth, sampler or VA. They are that powerful and also have a graphic display of the wave, which makes it easier to find the loop point.
