The Roland D110 a good MIDI alternative for roland SC?

Google says that the D-110 is a linear arithmetic based synth like the MT-32 (and D-10, D-50, etc). It predates general midi and wouldn't be a substitute for a Sound Canvas module, or for a mt-32 either. I think it shares a lot of the mt-32 instruments, but I think there are differences that would make it not work the same as a mt-32.
The U-110 is a sample based synth. So it's different than the D-110 and more like the Sound Canvas modules. But it also predates general midi and would be incompatible with both mt-32 stuff and general midi stuff.
If you want a "Sound Canvas" substitute, then you probably need to look for a general midi logo on the front panel as a minimum. And all of the Roland gm synths are probably called "Sound Canvas" anyway. So basically, if you want a sound canvas substitute from a random manufacturer then you want a "General Midi" module. And if you want a sound canvas substitute from Roland, then you want an actual sound canvas.
