Sound
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.

"Should have been standard! If you only buy one SRX, make it this one."

This will be a standard part of my setup for at least the next 10 years.
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.

Standard Roland build quality, Which is to say it's excellent
