Do the E-09 sound better than the EXR-5s? - 11/06/07 08:39 AM

Hello!

I have an ancient Yamaha PSR-27 keyboard and now is finally the time to get new the instrument.

Roland's EXR-5s keyboard is more expensive than newer E-09 and it has many features over E-09 like more styles, USB port, built in flash memory, cover function, bigger display, better onboard speaker system etc.
E-09 has "16 parts + Keyboard part" and EXR-5s has "19 multitimbral parts". What that means?


E-09's sound library is wider because it has 614 panels sounds and EXR-5s has 530 sounds. There is also plenty of drum kits in E-09.

But the more important thing than number of sounds is their quality. E-09 has 32MB wave memory according to Roland's website but they don't tell size of the EXR-5s's memory. I have readed that EXR-5s has 8MB. Can I hear the difference if there are any?
