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

Can you help me decide?

I own the mp-7 (unfortunately a bunch of waveforms with prerecorded 
chords which are not usable for flexible composing, thats just 
silly!!!) and need an expansion board with bread and butter 
sounds and a few GM-drum kits (to do r&b, hiphop, latin, acid jazz - 
no techno, eurodance or alike). I currently own the sounds of the zr-
board, but might return it:
I very much liked the piano sounds, but in the drum or bass 
department its not as punchy as the mp-7. That 
wouldnt be a problem, its still good bread and butter. But I was 
quite disappointed about what the 
brass section and woodwinds have to offer: Very weak trumpets, saxes 
and brass. Strings, Organs and E-Pianos are so-so. All in all I´m a 
little disappointed, just my opinion.

Is there an alternative with better brass wave quality, more punch, 
more realism in the brass department, some GM-drums - I am not 
talking about the pianosounds that are awesome!!! 

What about the protozoa? (16 MB only, Outworn proteus sounds 1, 2, 3?)
the composer board?
a new expansion card coming up (namm rumours?)

Please let me know what you think as I still have the chance to 
return the zr-card.

All the best

PS: Sorry I wanted to add something:
Does anybody know if there is a carnaval sound expansion board coming 
up for the mp-7/proteus etc.???
