The RS7000 is exactly a RM1x combined with a SU700.  It's got a lot of 
great features, and the sampling is definitely a plus.  However I think it 
falls short on two counts:

1. The sounds.  The sounds are really not all that, and for some odd 
reason, Yamaha used the same synth engine as the RM1x, which means the 
pacth editing is really limited.  So if you don't like the sounds when you 
demo the unit, there's not a huge wealth of options for editing them.
2. I've heard the OS is still pretty buggy, but I can't confirm this 
personally.  My friend is the manager of the pro audio department at the 
local Guitar Center, and he says people return the RS7000's all the time 
and complain they don't work properly.

I don't know a lot about the RS7000, but I do know that somehow it didn't
catch fire and turn out to be the hoped-for all in one box that many of us
MC-505 owners were hoping for. More like an RM1x merged with an SU700 but
not much else going for it.
