Scott,
We have similar problem here in Toronto Canada. There are 3 large music dealers in Toronto that are also Ketron dealers. 2 of the dealers have the X1 on display. They are trying to clear out of the X1 due to poor sales. They will not order / stock the SD-1. They do not want to get stuck with another high-priced item that they can not sell. The Canadian Ketron dealer prices are just too high and the dealers can't afford to take the risk to promote them. The only way I can tryout a SD-1 is to drive 4 hours to Montreal where the Ketron distributor has a showroom there. The Ketron distributors should provide "demo" keyboards to dealers at a lower cost so that dealers can put them on display.
