Hmmm, I went to their site and found it to be $499.  Add another $279 
for the world ROM and that's a bunch of cash.  I can get a PlanetEarth 
for $350 new and perhaps use it with my MC-307.  Sure, it's another 
piece of gear, but maybe the cheapest way to go for me at this point... 
or I could just get the Roland World ROM for my XV-5050 for $250.  Has 
anyone heard/used it?
