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

Hi, I have been reading allot of bad things about the XL-7 and it 
sucks because I really wanted to buy one. I have a Triton and use 
that along with the computer for making tracks, but wanted to get an 
Xl-7 for drums, is it good for just drums samples? For my pattern 
stuff I have a korg electribe em-1 which really works great with 
midi because I don't use the sounds from it. But the Xl-7 really 
sounds like a great peice of gear, but it sounds like it will always 
have bugs and will always have a buzzing sound comming from the 
outputs and the main dail will always act funny etc. etc. Can anyone 
tell me if these problems will be fixed via OS updates? and if the 
hardware itself is just crap ? I just don't want to blow $1550 
dollars on a fully expaned peice of garbage for my studio !
 But so far it just sounds like it is not worth it. Oh and I heard 
somewhere that someday you will be able to donwload new samples to 
you XL-7 via USB if you have Flash Rom? Is this true or false?
