Thanks George! I agree with you in that the VA-3 is a much better value. Look at all the advantages of the VA-3 compared to the EM-55. You at least get a touch screen with the VA-3, plus it's much easier on the eyes. Maybe it's me, but I think the design of the EM-15/25/55 is quite ugly. They look so cheap. The VA-3 at least has the good looks of the VA-5/7. I think you're right about the price too. It won't take too long for Roland to realize this keyboard is not in any way worth $800.00 It should be in the $500.00 range. I can't believe they are asking that much money for a keyboard that does almost nothing in editing styles....
