I too had the xp-80 and sold it when I got the psr9000. Also bought 2 expansion boards for the xp-80. Yamaha hit a home run with the 9000!
And I'm also glad Jupiter5 and shakeel Ahmed shared the possibilities with Sampling.
Let us know when you get it!

P.S. the reason I bought the psr9000 was the built in wood-encased speakers and it was 1000 dollars cheaper than 9000pro. The 9000PRO reminded me of the xp-80 having to use head sets and plug in speakers... it was nice to just set it up and start playing! After owning the xp-80 ... I knew I wouldn't buy another expansion board ... if I got the 9000pro! And you can import styles from other Brands, so styles are not something you even have to worry about.
