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

I've got an MP7 and I'd like to complete my ROM set for 
HipHop/R&B/Pop/Electronica styles of music. I'd like to buy the ROMs 
that will offer me the most variety of sounds in one box.

So I've decided that Phatt + Vintage + World + one of the electronica 
ROMs would be a pretty good setup for my kind of music. Can anyone 
comment on the quality of XL1 vs. TSCY vs. BeatGarden? If you could 
only have one electronica-type expansion, which one would it be? I've 
been leaning towards BeatGarden because of its high quality drum 
sounds, but i'd like to hear from some people that have tried all 
three of them. Thanks...

I do triphop/idm/breaks/ambient/experimental and have the following.
An MP-7 with XL(makes for a great digital modular with the patch chords.
Vintage Pro - excellent melletron voices ,ep's ,rhodes ,claves ,basses ,leads and pads/strings/choirvoices and flutes.
Protean Drums - can't rave about this one enough. The industrial and lo-fi kits are an absolute gas.
Really really good drum sounds to be had.
Between those three and the MP-7 Rom I use an EII+ for other voices (I have a huge library).
TG-33 for FM ish stuff and PADS.
But I would at least suggest (for what it's worth) the Vintage Pro ,Protean Drums and Pop roms for your style/styles.

Well I've got and MP7, and vintage is already on my list.  Two down. 
Then I thought the world rom would really help add some unique sounds 
to my music. Finally I thought either XL1 or TSCY or Beatgarden as my 
last rom. Should I replace one of those with Protean drums? I figure 
most drum sounds will be covered on other boards though. The 
electronic i'm into is mostly ambient, or classic like tangerine 
dream.  I thought about getting the Pop card. But I used to have a 
P2k and was hardly impressed with its sounds...
