Feature:
The amount of sounds available is stunning. This is one piece a pro studio will get a lot of mileage from. You can use iot for ANY project! The Expansion capabilities a big plus (SRX & SR Expansion slots) - and especially the ability to import great Roland sample libraries from SCSI devices. I only wished for more sample memory (128 MB max).
Quality:
Excellent quality.
Value:
Being a such a high-end product - the price is fairly good.
Sound:
It's one of the best sounding Roland modules I have ever heard. Also, the internal effects are superb.
Overall:
Right now - in the market the XV-5080 really stand on its own - it really does not have direct "competitor" IMHO. The editability of sounds and creative resources available for the XV is quite remarkable.

I have had the 5080 for short time. It has a vast amount of sounds without the expansion boards. The sonic quality of the pallette of sounds out of the box is incrdible. I don't think that there are any sounds in the 5080 that are useless. I haven't had an opportunity to install SIMMS for sample playback or any of the expansion cards as yet. But based on the quality of the sounds that are in the XV-5080 out of the box, I know that the expansion cards will be a great addition. I purchased the XV-5080 because of its polyphony, expandability and the quality of the Roland sound library. I rate the XV-5080 as a great addition to any musical arsenal.
If the XV-5080 is too rich for your blood, then take a serious look at the XV-3080. It is very versatile (minus samle playback capability) and is about $700 cheaper.
There is a growing user community for the XV-5080 including some dedicated web sites full of usefull resources and downloads.
