SMF / HArd drive?

From these arrangers which one would be the best for
Instant playback ability of SMF
Close to or better sound of Roland
Hard drive usage
Ability to select a song while one is playing?

Choices are
9000Pro
PA-80
SD-1


I have a VA-7, but its not as easy to select the songs as it was on the EM-2000.

PS Anyword on that board Uncle Dave?


Thanks in advance

Frank,
I'm stunned that Roland hasn't shipped that part yet. I need to see the shop this week again, so I'll get in his face about it. Were you able to contact anyone near you about warrentee? I think it ends in September.

A friend of mine is going to put a call in on Monday for the same part.

Maybe he'll have some luck
