Scott, the sounds on the MS are slightly more advanced than those on the MA - plus there are over 1,000. Then add in the dozens of combi's and arpeggiator and you've got one powerful little instrument.

As far as setup goes, I'm not there yet. I'm what you'd call a MIDIot. I wonder if they've published the 'Idiot's Guide to MIDI'. I'll admit, it confuses me. As a matter of fact, I'm probably going to sell the microSTATION.
