9 out of 10Sound:
Sounds really good- breathes new life into an XV-3080 or XV-5080.
Electric pianos are quite nice- and the other synth sounds are great too.
The analog stuff is not as good as a Virtual Analog module- but very good as sources to make your own patches with.

6 out of 10Feature:
Comes with complete instructions and even an installation tool!
Quality:
Standard Roland build quality, Which is to say it's excellent
Desirability:
I bought it, I have it, I love it.
Sound:
Simply speaking, the "classic" sounds in this SRX card should have been included in the FantomX in the first place. They are GORGEOUS.
I'm very picky about Wurlitzer EP sounds, for instance. The Wurlies in this card are both much better than those in the factory patch set, but also better than everything else I've heard. It blows away NI's "Elecktrik Piano", for instance.
GREAT Mellotron sounds, GREAT String Machine sounds (it nails Omni2 and Solina, for instance)
Good collection of classic synth patches as well. Captures a good sense of Moogs, Oberheims, Jupiters, etc. ... not perfect, but identifiable and useful.
Support:
Roland suppoert is always a mixed bag. Call early, and hope you get one of the "good guys".
Overall:
This will be a standard part of my setup for at least the next 10 years.
