For those who are still looking for a sound module, i stumbled on this one that has a very nice price tag on it 
is it better then the MT-32? Probably not..
Sure it's better. More polyphony, more voices, more midi channels available, and the SC55 contains an MT32 mode...
The SC55 is overall better then a MT-32, it even has a mt-32 mode 
But i've have to say the MT-32 has some very nice rich sounding voices.
Almost everything is better than an MT32
I want the best sound...so should I get this as replacement of the MT32?
thx ;-)
or should I get this:

or http://link.marktplaats.nl/474812309 (SC880)

I don't agree because MT32 emulation in SC55 is very bad (and no sysex messages...)
Best choice would be to have MT32 sound module for old games and another one (like SC88 pro) for MIDI editing stuff
that's my config
I didn't like SC88Pro at all, I sold it the first opportunity I had.
I have SC55mkII and SC88, good enough. Perhaps will sold SC88.
If you want SC55, get mkII type, not just SC55. MUCH better than crappy MT32.
MT32 is preferable for stuff that was made on that machine, like some MSX games. Though, you should take the CM32L instead. That's a MT32 with some extra samples (but no control panel/display).
If not using it for that, skip the mini things like the sound canvases. JV1080s aren't that expensive either, but they kick the ass of every SC.
Is there actually any MSX game that sounds decent on an MT32, Sound Canvas or whatever else? Af you'd ask me, I'd say it's all a big pile o' poo. Music made for FM is quite hard to just playback on MIDI equipment based on waverom, you know, with 'acoustic' instruments 'n things. FM is good because it's FM, not because it simply was cheap back then.
