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

Ok cool.  Do you know if the retail prices of both units are the 
same?  I see that they're sold everywhere for $999 - however, it 
just seems strange to me that the xx-7's would have a little bit 
more on them and sell for the same price.  

The bigest thing that confused me is the 2500's boasting 
about "faster" and "24bit" technology.  Now I realize they are the 
same thing pretty much.

The pictures of the command stations make it look smaller htan it 
must be !!!
