all I mean is that each manufacturer has his own form of compression on preset sounds in the wave rom, and there are many tricks with multisamples and layering available making the wave rom used in a preset in no way comparable with the wave rom needed for uncompressed wave files in a sampler for example. So numbers only give a broad outline, and ears may give a totally different picture at the end of the day.

it is easy to say memory is cheap, ram may be cheap, but that is not enough on its own. If you want some kind of functionality better than an A5000, you end up with a board significantly more expensive, more Triton than KN maybe?
