Here is what I am looking for: which one may have the better piano 
(yes, that word again!) and the better strings. 
Am I correct in assuming that the ZR has different drum samples that 
the rest of the Emu stuff?
Thanks for helping me spend my money!

I like the piano better on the ZR. It is not really a bright piano 
so if you want it for pop music on stage, it may not work. To me it 
is very playable when I want to practice classical or ballads. 
Neither ROM has many strings so it is hard to judge one over the 
other in that department. I always liked the drums from the ZR 
better than the Proteus Pop. Good percussion. As for the filler 
sounds, I like the Proteus Pop better. It has the better pads and 
synths. One disappointment with the ZR is the lack of the formant 
filters that were in the Ensoniq MR/ZR synths. Some of my favorite 
synth patches from the real MR/ZR used formant filters. They do not 
transfer well to the Proteus.
