Frank,

I would have to agree with Uncle Dave on this one, though the PSR740 is no doubt a great keyboard for its price and what it offers, but it does not compare much to the X1. A closer fit would be the PSR9000 against the X1 but even then I still think the X1 is better. I have owned Yamaha keyboards for over 10 years from the PSS780 to the PSR8000. In between them the PSR6700 was my favouriate though, it was just so powerful.

Everybody hears things differently though, but there is a big difference between the PSR range against Solton, they sound so different .
