My opinion is, to get the Yamaha EMX 5000 12, like Tommy said, is a lot cleaner, and to my ears, sounds better. To bad Roland drop of production the CPM 300 (RAD), I use this one for my gigs, small footprint, VERY clean sound, LIGHT weight, I have been using it for almost 2 years and no trouble, and before that, I also used one at the store for demo(Synthony Music in Phoenix, now closed), to conect several keyboards for many hours and months....and no problem.
