This is a silly point. There are those of us out there who much prefer hardware synths to softsynths, and who even think they can sound better.
The disscussion is about what Roland are doing with there hardsynths. They definetly need more Ram, less patches. Having siad that I believe that the combination of modelling and S+S is the way to go for workstations right now.
Personally the piano on my (for sale) Nord Stage sounds more realistic than Ivory which uses 1000 times more memory.
So in some ways having tons of memory isnt nessecarily the answer to making great sounding workstations. E.G. Modeling = B4, Lounge Lizard etc . S+S =Nord stage piano sound which I know has very little memory but distributes its over only a handfull of good, tweakable sounds.
