I bought it new, all options at its output ..... and frankly, I do not regret it at all because it is an excellent workstation.
I do not know enough about the series "Reason" to really compare, but from the few docs I've read above, it seems that the "improvements" are mainly located at the ram which is relatively low EX5.
UTILIZATION
I find excellent ergonomics and the only difficulty could (possibly) be due to the large number of adjustable parameters added to different types of syntheses.
Well ... it should not be too stuffy anyway, it helps!
For my part, I spend a lot of time on my synths and fifteen years later, the EX5 is always a pleasure.
Some complained at its output a MIDI latency problem when using multi-timbral. A particular set of EPROMs corrects this problem.
SOUNDS
The low power DSP limits the use of multi-synthesis therefore, actually ... always depends on what you want to do!
Synthesis VL is excellent for strings where brass, it is only when associated with the synthesis AWM2 (16 bit/44, 100 kHz).
The AWM2 is reading and editing samples, the principle of which all sampler!
AWM2 in the synthesis is very extensive and the possibilities are enormous.
The AN is nice here but not worth a good analog.
Synthesis FSDP is a set of effects applicable to voice where AN AWM2. The result "may" be very original here depends on you.
The possibilities of expression are tip-top, it's simple ... everything is customizable!
OVERALL OPINION
I had bought it new when it came out and then live his competitor was the Korg Triton.
I did not hesitate a second and even today, I do not regret it.
For my part, I have other machines more, but in almost all compositions mas there at least one of the EX5.
The presets do not interest me on a synth and I love creating my own sounds.
If you want to buy a OCCAZ go ahead but I would advise you to find a fitted options because then it will be mission impossible to find.
