Markus,
Thanks for your most valuable insights and impressions. My SD1 and 9000pro impressions were VERY similar to yours when I auditioned them at NAMM back in January. I also concur that the Korg PA80 was a big disappointment, particularly the dismal sounding acoustic piano patch/keys. As far as the Technics KN6500, I think we should wait to see what "new" the KN7000 might bring.

Can you please tell us more about the Hammond (arranger?) Keyboard? Is that actually a portable arranger keyboard or an organ? As a jazz influenced musician I am particularly interested in finding out more.
Does the Hammand keyboard support all arranger auto-accompaniment keyboard functions (split mode, full keyboard mode, etc)? What type of sounds/styles does the Hammond offer? Keyboard Model Number?

Thanks,
