Roland 5080 or 5050?

[Ieo]

Hi everyone,

As a new member of the site, would like to ask the first question and hope to answer others in the future for other users!

What are the advantages of 5050 versus 5080? (or opposite)
Which one would you buy?

Please advise.

Thanx

Leo

5080 - you get 30 more.

The main advantage of the 5050 over the 5080 is that it is smaller and lighter, and has USB. Otherwise, the 5080 is a better unit and has a lot more capabilities.

Another unit you should consider is the Fantom XR. Same one space rack size as the 5050, but *much* more powerful.
