I have to say that I'm in agreement with U. Dave and Bluezpalyer about the Fantom. I wanted to like it....like I wanted to like the VA 76 too and neither of them impressed me much.

I thought the arps pretty good on the Fantom but that was about it. I did not like the sounds of either board (yet I have an xv 3080 and like the sounds on it).
I thought the singing type voices pretty good on the VA .....but not much more about either board.

Sounds are my primary concern then user interface and intuitive use....neither of these boards fit that criteria for me anyway.
