Roland Mv-8000 Alias The Mv8800 ?, Can it be ? Options

[jupitor]

I Own a roland mv-8000 and I was told by a salesman at a large musical instrument clearing house that the
operating system of the new mv-8800 can be used to update the mv-8000, adding many of the new features.
Though, the good folks at roland don't want people to know this, because they might keep their "old" machines, and not up grade to the new shiney machine.
Has anybody got the real deal on this? thanx.. -jupitorjava script:emoticon(':rolleyes:',%20'smid_10')
