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

Appreciate the link to E-MU history. I guess what I'm getting at is, are there really any audible or other performance differences to the various models that people have actually noticed?

Like the 2500 had better converters (24bit) and faster CPU speed/midi response than the 2000 line. Any truth to that? Are the command stations and 2500 exactly the same except for the pads? Did the P2000 hardware change over time? I.e. did the Vintage Pro have upgraded converters/CPU over the original P2000? The keyboards were also interesting in that they had the Proteus 1000 level specs, but accepted 4 ROM boards instead of only 2 like the rest of the 1000 line.
