Does this make sense

[tmay]

would it make sense to by a roland jv1010 when I already own a roland xp-80 keyboard

 

[brzilian]

Nope! The 1010 will have all the sounds from the XP80 and a few more since it already has the Session and Orchestral Expansion boards built in.

Perhaps for a little more money, you can get a Novation A-station if you're interested in analog sounds. (~$575). If not the $400 that you would be spending on the JV1010 would be better spent on a couple Roland expansion cards. The only difference in sounds of the XP80 and the JV1010 sounds is the Sessions expansion card. For $400 you can get at least two expansion cards for your XP80 and be done with it.
