My XP-50 is 4 years old and it sounds great. I agree with sentinel about the lack of outputs, the sequencer is a little bit difficult to handle because of the small LCD and it only has two faders for tweaking the sounds. If I could go back in time, perhaps I would buy the JV-1080 module and a MIDI keyboard instead, but I love my XP-50, it was my first synth and I would not change it for anything.
