Well if a reviewer getting large backhanders from Roland says so, then it must be true
Hehe, i think you're thinking of Future Music or Computer Music.

SOS tend to be discerning as ever, pulling no punches. Reviews get thumbs up from SOS because manufacturers don't send them half finished products, as manufacturers know they'll be publicly taken through the mill in their review otherwise. However, SOS tends not to understand dance music as much as it could do. I get the feeling they are much more biased towards live and more traditional types of music, including pop music too. Certainly not dance.

I have an MC505 (ROMpler), though, and that has the midi-stepping when you sweep through the freqs with high resonance, so I would still say the 505 will sound nothing like a proper 303. The 505 filter wouldn't compare, and it doesn't have saturation, not to mention it also uses just samples instead of a real analogue oscillator, etc.
