Feature:
Sustain Pedal is included and owners manual is very well written. I would have liked a built in power supply , but I purchased a spare for around $50, in case I forget to bring mine to a gig.
Quality:
Roland stuff is bullet proof, I dont expect any problems.
Value:
This keyboard is a bargain for what it does and especially for what it weighs. I would buy it again without hesitation.
Desirability:
Looks great
Sound:
Great Piano and Rhodes sounds and Bass for Key Bass split keyboard function. 128 Note Polyphony eliminates note dropouts when using sustain pedal. I use my RD300SX with a Yamaha Motif ES Rack and have an unlimited number of sounds with a great keyboard action.
Support:
I have used Roland support before and they are alwayws very good.
Overall:
I am going to use this for a long time. This is the best and lightest keyboard I have seen to date.

Feature:
I am not aware of what is packaged with the unit although an expansion sound card of your choice would be a great incentive.
Quality:
Seems well made although only played it extensively in the store. Roland boards are typically well made.
Value:
The price for this item is more in line with the competition but in typical Roland fashion, still a bit high. They could really clean up were they to lower the price by $2-300 or offer some sort of expansion sound board in the package.
Desirability:
The weight of the actual unit and the feel of the keyboard are very attractive, particularly for the gigging musician who prefers a weighted board. Price is a bit high considering the relatively limited voice selection. The quality of the sounds in general has improved but there is still a somewhat limiting feeling when punching up some sounds. Electric basses have gotten better but still could use some help. Overall a nice board that could be a really hot deal at a lower price point (in more direct competition with the Yamaha SO8 for example). Granted the quality of some samples is superior to the SO8 but the SO8 still gives a great bang for the buck in terms of well rounded variety of staple sounds. The S90 qualitatively is more suited to compete sonically but at only a couple hundred dollars more, offers a huge amount of high quality sounds and performance-oriented inspiration. Roland deserves credit for its effort to pull their line back into the fray but still needs to consider a better pricing strategy and/or more extensive sound set to set the standard.
Sound:
Piano sound is about as good as it gets (bravo) although supplementary sounds are varied. If you have little or no need for bass sounds, these will certainly suffice and they are much better than previous Roland boards (XV88, JV series etc.). Organs and orchestral are fine overall. With memory chips at such low prices I am still shocked that manufacturers are not tossing in significantly higher memory capacities. Roland touts a gigabyte expandability. This is great! I'd think more in terms of onboard memory would be offered in the base unit.
