Thanks everyone, I think if I was going to change my setup for the cost of the Roland I would just buy a better piano, otherwise I think I'll stick with what I have until I finally go for an all in one sampler workstation such as the high end Kurzweill or forget the work station bit and get a Nord electro 4.

The keyboard player for our trio Odradek also tried a Kurzweil for a time and also didn't like it. He then got the Korg SV-1 and raves about it - though he's somewhat biased, being the long-time owner of an MS10 - MS20 pair. Not being one to make an accurate appraisal, FWIW, I prefer the Korg sound also.
