Don, I will give you my thoughts...I am sure you already know what I am going to say...


Listening to the Korg demos..they are more in your face...maybe more live in sound.....

Listening to the Yamaha demos...they sound more realistic, but so thin, and lack that live sound...

The korg drums are better..even in the sound department..


Personally for me..with an even playing field....weight and features being equal..I think I would lean towards the Korg..it being the punchier livelier sound, with a better drum sound (most important)..The Yamaha has better tones, but are too thin samples....and I don't believe eq is going to make a difference....to the extent of a live sound.....If you can eq the Yamaha to a point where it has that fullness and get the drums better with editing....than I would lean towards the Yamaha...


Thank heaven you still have the E50
