It's very hard to generalise since all instruments these days are very
versatile in the hands of a good programmer, but: E-mu are pretty
strong in terms of quality ROM sample libraries for PCM-playback
instruments, whereas Roland are stronger in the virtual analogue arena
(filter modelling and so on). So, if anything, I'd hint the other way
round. (Or suggest Nord or Korg.)
