Memory is cheap, incorporating sampling functions is not that difficult. Though I wasn't too impressed with the 9000pro's functions when I borrowed one for a couple of days. Then again, I own the Yamaha A5000 sampler which isn't that user-friendly either.

Not really IMO, those who dabble in the world of samplers are bound to ask these kind of questions. I have no intention of buying a keyboard which overall sounds much like its predecessor.

That said, I'll definitely be visiting my dealer for some first-hand experience when the 7000 arrives.
