I have a Roland XP80, and I wish I could have afforded a Triton because I find the sounds far more beautiful and interesting. On the other hand it does depend on what you are using it for because the Roland synthesized piano sounds etc. are pretty good. In an ideal world it's always best to use real instruments than synthesized ones, because imitations never quite make the grade - the best use a keyboard can be put to is in creating sounds that no 'natural' instrument could, and the Triton wins out there.
