That guy did some great audio vids for this model. I saw these some time ago. The E-09 sounds really good in many areas. The Warm Strings tone was very nice.., and it was nice to see some tones with the XP patch names

The only down side to these (for me) would be the lack of the most basic voice editing. I wouldn't mind having something like the E-09, but for myself..., I know there will be tones/patches that I would want to adjust the ADSR and filters on. If I bought a budget Roland arranger it would have to be the GW-8. I'd love to have a speaker version of the GW-8 and YES it exists in the Prelude.., but Roland jacked the price of that puppy up to $1,000 and took away patch editing

The E-09 would make a great affordable keyboard for someone needing that "out of box" sound though.
