SK880user,
As you may know, I own a VA7 and these very days have been playing Scott's PSR2000 almost every day. I think that, quality-wise, the PSR sounds are on the same level as the VA7 (to my ears they are both sampled at 44.1kHZ/16 bit). I haven't had the time to check all the sounds and am almost sure that the VA7 has more waveforms (especially in the Synth department), but I liked a lot some of the PSR sounds, like the Tenor and Soprano saxes and the Organs in general. Other sounds, like the acoustic piano, the electric pianos or the drums are maybe better on the VA7. So, it all comes to a matter of taste, as usual.
I wonder: why instead of spending all this time debating about my stuff, your stuff, etc, like a bunch of adolescents don't we try to improve our chops?
I am learning a lot from Scott these days and this rootless chord thing really does make a difference when you play and I am not talking just of jazzy stuff.
Just my 0.002 cents
P.S.: make love, not war (I am in San Francisco, after all...)
