Hi! I own a P2500 and I can remap my presets to something very close 
to a total GM set with some holes like French and English horns. The 
only problems I run into is with completely orchestral midis which 
need certain patches I need to create as preset from raw sounds.   
There are raw intrument waveforms I could use to build those, just 
haven't gotten to it.  The P2500 does have very high quality sounds 
and with the preset remap thingy I am able to get darn good GM midi 
with small omissions, but I'm working on it. But time is money, so it 
may be easier just to buy the Zr sounds, yet I'm guessing those Zr 
sounds must be a little outdated by now....  -Steve
