Yes, is this a slight hardware refresh to the EP-133 with a new skin and different factory presets?

The KO-1 had a similar "Street Fighter" edition, which could be loaded with the original PO-33 samples.

Are there any reasons not to buy this over the EP-133 from a pure capability standpoint? I wish the marketing were a bit clearer on that front, seems we need to intuit this by diving into the specs and capabilities ourselves.

There are new features in the software (presumably implementable on the original if they choose to) but the new one has twice as much memory, with the new samples taking up 75% of that.

Did they resolve the intense hardware bugs with the EP-133? I haven't been following after basically giving up on TE due to this (EP-133) being the second time they sold me a lemon.

Do you mean slidergate, if so, yes thats solved. I still use mine regularly without significant issues.
