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

You make good points. I love buying gear that is just (or soon-to-be) 
discontinued. Not only do you get the product at the best price in 
its life cycle, you get the latest version of the OS, the most user 
support, the most free patches, and the most free assistance you 
could want.

I actually bought the Proteus 2000 when it first came out, and 
promptly returned it due to a by-design issue which made it 
completely useless for me. Fortunately for Emu, they changed their 
design in a future free OS release, but I had already purchased 
something else by that time.

In the case of the XL-7, they just released a free new OS with cool 
new features. I couldn't be more pleased. While initially I bought 
the thing mainly due to its low price, I'm finding I enjoy it much 
more than I expected I would.
