When I read this review posted by Squeak, the first thing I did was to look at the date postsed. I thought that perhaps this was a review done at the very beginning release of the PSR3000 and perhaps without really spending much time with this keyboard.
I have been selling the PSR3000 now for just 2 years and for almost everyone wishing an arranger keyboard with styles and recording this keyboard has the designation in my store as the overall "winner" since I've been selling arranger keyboards since the early 1080's.
Everyone is entitiled to their opinion but I have to totaly disagree with your verdict. I think the sounds are wonderful, the styles are live and in your face and the large variety of features, including 128 note polyphony is all alone compared to others out there in the marketplace, even these two years later.
