Uncle Dave,
Out of curiosity .... You mentioned several times that it is "playing" and the music itself that really counts ... not the wizbang things a keyboard has to offer.
I have tried many keyboards and as most say it is really a personal thing based upon personal needs. It is the playing that counts to me as well. Of all the keyboards I have tried, The "pleasure of playing" award goes to the GEM keyboards (sk670) for the pure feel of the board itself.
How does the x1 compare to the SK76 ... in your humble opinion.
