Yes, I think EM55 has similar 3500 sounds from VA7, but only 8 Mb for them. So, VA7 sounds a lot better, better, better...
And I agree with George. EM-55 is a much worse kb than PA60 or PSR2000.
For example, you can't modify style parts, only mute them if you want or add some pads.
And the screen is the same as Em-20, nothing similar with VA7one.
No good times for Roland kb, I think.
