Korg or Roland for my 3rd keyboard in live rig? Need advice!

Hey everybody, looking for some advice from people who have experience with the Korg M50 and Roland Juno G

Currently, my keyboard rig is a Nord Electro 2 and MicroKorg.

I'm looking for something mainly with strings, and a better piano sound than the nord. Other synth and pad sounds are a plus. With my current set up I have rhodes/wurly, organ, and basic monophonic synths pretty good, just need something else to fill the rest.

I haven't really messed around with the Korg, but I do like the ADSR "sound modifier" section on the roland.

Any advice, opinions, and experience is appreciated.

Hi,

Do you have a fixed budget? Does it have to be a keyboard?

Roland Soniccell? I got one for £280 on eBay last week. All the guts of a Fantom with a workable, though slightly autistic, interface.

Did you update the OS on your Electro? They added a MUCH better piano sound with one of the early OS updates.
