But 175MB of Yamaha waveforms invariably sounds better than 64MB of Yamaha waveforms...

They might not compare across different manufacturers, but especially a model or two up from an earlier one from the same manufacturer? You can guarantee that more waveform ROM equates to better sounds..

Get the S700, or even better, save just a bit more (or buy used) and get an S900... Those SA voices are worth every additional penny, alone... Mega voices aren't easy to play from the keyboard, but SA ones ARE
