Hi Steve,

The DTX v2.0 is a better module than the DTXpressI, with which it was 
roughly contemporary.  It is far more user-friendly; it has more 
inputs and features (I don't remember the output situation); its 
parameters are far more versatile; and it has more voices. The 
samples were cut from the same cloth, but you could do more with them 
(like layer four at a time, alternate them to create a short 
percussive or melodic phrase, etc.). You might go to Yamaha's site 
and look at the PDF of the manual for the complete scoop. I've seen 
it sold on ebay for about $225 to $250. But you could do a search of 
recent sales to make sure.
