Hey Cliff,

I've got a 1080 and I dig it. For the cost its sounds+features are very 
nice 
for any studio or rig, not too mention hard to beat.  My only big peeve 
with 
my unit is that there seems to be a big difference in output between 
patches, which can be a pain but is only a little annoying. I would say 
that 
very soon after purchasing it I wished that I had spent the extra cash for 
the 2080 though. The better interface is reason enough, but I guarantee 
you 
that (if you are anything like me) four expansion board slots will no be 
enough for you. Both these units can be found for a song right now, so I 
would say go for the 2080. It can't be anywhere near as much more as it 
was 
when I bought my 1080.

I can't comment on whether the 5080 is worth the extra greenbacks. I'm not 
sure what the current price diff is.Sampler support is nice to have and 
from 
instore listenings it does sound a little nicer. The XVs do use a 
different 
expansion board format than the JVs, which is a bit more expensive and I'm 
not sure if there are as many available. Might be something that you want 
to 
investigate before deciding.
