Be careful listening at Guitar Center, they usually give you really crappy 
speakers to listen to.  When I was auditioning my XL-7, I was kinda 
unimpressed with the sounds myself.  However a friend told me that 
wouldn't be the case when I heard it one good speaker.  Sure enough when I 
got the unit home I was blown away by the sound quality.  If nothing else, 
bring your own headphones to the store, I always do that.  Saves your ears 
from listening to that 10 year old tweaking every single knob on a MS2000 
right next to you too! :)

When I tried out the MP-7 command station in Guitar Center, I played 
with it for a couple of hours.  The other main concern I had is that 
although it had a lot of really great sounds, it seemed to lack a 
strong selection of percussion sounds.  I am concerned that I will 
have to get a stand-alone drum machine to supplement this.
