We believe that the current P2K processor would have been adequate for
the Xl-7 (even with XL-7's more complexed OS). But we decided to go with
the next generation Motorola ColdFire for many reasons. First and most
importantly, any time a new generation processor becomes available we
like to use it in new products. Its always better to have extra power
(feature creep security) and it keeps are platforms up to date. Also,
your right it is more power hungry because you are running a P2K and a
Full Blown sequencer at the same time. We all want Sequencers to be
tight, right? So going with the faster processor made since.

This new Processor runs 2x faster that the P2K ( the P2K processor in
the imbedded world is no slouch). We also have a separate processor
running the front panel and keyboard. One very clear enhancement the new
processor has brought has been a cleaner, tighter sound to the XL and MP-7.
