I'm with you on this one Bluezplayer. I like the 3000 enough that I'd go for one, but, after having my i30 for a while, that Yamaha keybed turns me off. I'd pony up for an uprated keybed, too.
The Lionstracs thing? Nope, never did see one in the flesh. I sort of had the feeling that it really wasn't much more than an experiment. Also, I'm not wild about companies who expect you to be their guinea-pig, and ask you to lay out major bucks for the privilege.
