Is Krome 88 what I need..?

Hello, all!

I am new on the forums.

I have been a Korg fan since the M1 days, but not upgraded since Trinity+. I recently bought a Roland Juno-stage, but it does not feel... perfect.

I play MELODIC METAL, mostly. Need something to go on tour and play live with. I need great strings, choirs, pianos as well as smashing lead sounds!

I really like the Krome 88. But it's 2014.. Are there any better synths out there in approx the same price range, for the purpose? Some say M3... And I found a used Triton Pro ridiculously cheap... Could that be an option, even though its old?

Help!

M3 and Krome are basically the same sound engines. Krome has better pianos but M3 is fine. M3 has Karma, sampling and you can add a Radias card (if you can find one) to get VA synth (can be good for metal leads). Krome has a nicer touch screen if that sort of thing is important but it doesn't really add to the functionality. I would go for an M3 over a Krome or Triton.
