As someone who almost owns both (I have an Xpander--the Matrix-12 is two
Xpanders in one box with a keyboard added), I can probably answer whatever
questions you have. By "compare" do you mean sonically, in terms of that
elusive quality that says "analog"? If so, then I'd better stop here, as I'd
rather my first lengthy post on this list have some positive content. :)
