zuki,
After having the E50 for a couple of days now I will say Roland has finally done a mid priced keyboard they can be proud of. The EXR3,5,7 and 9 were very disappointing to me in both styles and features. Sounds were OK but everything else made me think these were very low end keyboards. The gap between theese and the G70 or VA76 was huge! Now, the E50 at a very moderate price is much closer to the high end keyboards than to the lower end models. It reminds me of the Yamaha PSR3000 in that the Yamaha is closer to the high end Tyros than to the lower end PSR's. I hope I am saying this so that readers understand my point here. Yes, it's not as much wave memory as the G70 and there is no vocal harmonizer or VK8 organ, but everything else sure seems to be there and for this I thank Roland for doing a good job.
