Howzit,
I have an SC 8850 and it sounds pretty good to me. It has over 1600 sounds and serves my purpose well. However, some of the sounds don't sound as realistic as I hoped they would. For example, the saxaphone, clarinet, etc. The strings sound real good, and so do the drums, bass, guitar, pianos..... anyway, just my opinion, and in all fairness to the SC 8850, I haven't really learned to use it to its full potential yet.
