The good side: It's REALLY light - gotta be under 10 pounds, for 5 octave keyboard with two wheels and four knobs. The most important thing to know about the x50 is the physical construction. The short answer: It's usable but not fun. 2nd hand they can be more attractive than the x50 depending on prices. all of those feature some or all of rom expansion, touch screens, z1 daughter boards, sampling upgrades. All are basically the same core engine with bits and bobs. One of the main thing going against these synths is there are so many of them, triton's, triton LEs, karmas, TR's, X series. but it does some nice synth stabs and basses too. I use my m50 pretty much just for that sort of stuff. they excel at strings, pads, soundscapes and have a very smooth polished sound. If your after a good sounding rompler with nice efx and a useful synth engine, the HI synths are a very good choice.
2nd hand TR synths come up around that price and feature rom expansion and sampling which would be my pick over the x50 if you get a good price on one. I got a mint hardly used m50 for 700 with more poly, brilliant touch screen and the new EDS synth engine. I would pay 400ish for a x50/micro-x and no more.
