Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Of those two, I would say the SU700 is by far the better bet. If you 
go for an RM1x, you have to be CAREFUL to get the latest operating 
system, which isn't free and isn't downloadable, or you WILL have 
problems with some external gear. I didn't buy one, when I could have 
gotten it for a steal from a friend of mine, because of that 
limitation.
Also, if you get an SU700, you might want to make sure it already has 
the expensive SCSI upgrade kit, or forget about samples over 1.2 mb, 
the size of the floppy disk. Could be a real pain live, but I have 
heard people really like that box, again, I looked at that long and 
hard before I sprung for the XL7, since I already have a Yamaha A3000 
sampler.
Man, am I too negative?????????????
