Denis,
It’s a question of personal taste. I don’t know much about Roland, but I compared the PA80 to my X1 side by side before. I liked the Piano and the Strings sounds in the PA80 over the X1,and I liked every other sound (especially Sax-Flute-Violin) in the X1 over PA80 (That’s my personal opinion).
As far as drums go, X1 is a winner.
