The lack of velocity sensitivity was a deal breaker for me too.  Same 
holds true for the Roland stuff.  I ended up with the E-MU XL-7 and I'm 
pretty happy.  While it's not as easy to work with as the Roland stuff 
(I've never owned and electribe) it's a lot more flexible and has a way 
higher capacity for ROM sounds.  Because of it's pads and extra outputs 
I can actually leave a synth home on small gigs and use the XL-7 for 
playing basic synth sounds.
