I played with an xs at gc, i must say the acoustic guitar is awesome, all the different variations... I have to agree with Jose though, there were some patches in my old psr2k that i miss, and they weren't included in the higher end workstation. I guess it's expected since each category of instruments has their own library to pull from i guess, but thing like the live nylon guitar, the galaxy EP, and evn some of the pads and choir voices were better in the 2k, i can only imagine how much better they've gotten on he 3k or the new s910 and such. I was amazed for example that no where in my es drum kits could i find a finger snap! I mean for a workstation geared towards hip hop, R&B and all sorts of other genres, this minor detail was very strange not to have. But maybe when i get enough money i'll buy me an PSR s910 just for the sound, and for the portability of taking it to practices and small gigs... BTW, other than the voices that come in the sample cd with the ES, did Yamaha ever release any more *free* voices for the ES?

The XS sure doesn't have that nice Hawaiian guitar from the PSR line.

Don't like the pedal steel on motif. I must say the guitar sounds on the psr and tyros keyboards are a bit better in my uneducated opinion. Unfortunately I had to cell my s900 when I got motif.
