I've been avidly performing and recording with the 2000 for some four years. I recently sold it (got $700 -- not even $300 less than what I paid!) and replaced it with a 3000 (for the record, Guitar Center in Totowah NJ gave it to me brand new for $1279 plus tax, but it seems the salesman ended up getting hit over the head by the manager for that one....). I've been trying it out now for about two weeks and just did a short gig with it this morning for the first time. All I can say is that in my opinion the 2000 was a great keyboard, but the 3000 is FAR superior to it in terms of voices as well as styles. Is it built like a tank? Of course not. But then it doesn't weigh 50 pounds. Maybe it's just me but I find the key action to be excellent. All in all, even for $1,500 I don't think there's another unit on this planet that can compete with the 3000. (Except perhaps the original TYROS but even that is not so clear.)
