Can anyone tell me exactly what is the difference between a Yamaha TX216
and a Yamaha TX816 ?  My current understanding is that the TX816 is eight
DX7's minus the keyboard(s) and the TX216 is two DX7's minus the keyboard(s).
Is it possible to buy a TX216 and then buy six TX tone generator modules
until you have the exact equivalent of a TX816 ?

Also, does anyone know if Yamaha plans to make the DX5 available in the U.S. ?

Thanks,
Bill Kish
