Now that the initial blind lust has worn off, I'm less sure about it. I'm not too concerned about fiddliness, but the thing that's started to sink in is that even with the $300 96-piece set, you still only get two sets of eight xylophone chimes. In other words, you can't do much musically except throw in a few arpeggiated chords, or start a very limited set of songs that don't repeat pitches much.
