Hey Mark.... you're very observant, I LOVE the XV-88! And yes, as a matter of fact I own the SRX-02 "Concert Piano" expansion board..... never tried the drum one though. The piano board is awesome! The only thing though is that it sounds MUCH better in stereo, a couple of the patches sound really bad in mono, unfortunately I'm running in mono right now But I plugged a pair of headphones in........ WOW!!! I was shocked at what I was hearing, it's simply amazing. I don't know if I would have payed the full $300 for it (I got mine for $125, BRAND NEW!!Don't even ask where though, it wasn't a retailer) But I definitely am glad I have it.

"Experiences with the keyboard".......... Well, what I use mine for is mostly praise and worship music at church (I lug it around a LOT... and I haven't had any reliability problems yet) It does great for P&W, if that's your thing. I also use it a lot for classical and solo piano stuff (mostly for practice and personal enjoyment) The expansion boards pianos sound awesome for this..... however, like I said before, they sound MUCH better through headphones or a stereo setup. The onboard pianos tend to sound better IMHO in mono. So... I guess that's about it, do you own the XV-88?? Looking to buy??? ?????
