Well, it DOES have a 128 voice module inside (and an mp3/wave player). Perhaps we don't yet know ALL the details about how that hooks in, yet, but I imagine, if they HAVE orphaned it now, a simple OS update would solve that...

In the meantime, check out the RD700G... ARX Rhodes and Wurli, plus some high quality sampled pianos at a weight and price more to your liking... (of course it's not to your liking! No tuning forks )

Maybe you can compare the V-Piano to the TOTL Clavinovas... Heavy, expensive, and arranger sections a pale shadow of a T3

Perhaps Roland is not unique in leaving us somewhat unsatisfied at times, eh, Ian?
