Hi Ian ,

Thank you for your reply !

Yes , I`m still hunting , and confused.

I wouldn`t be except the S900 has a heck of alot to offer , and I have always said that.

I mean , who else makes a board with all those features at that price ! No one !!

I just wish they were made a little better.

Maybe for a home studio it would be a fine KB , but the quality for me is an issue.

Sure , I could get used to the rubber buttons and the not-so-great action , but how long would it last ?

I tell ya` if I could find a new sealed PSR-3000 , I would buy it tomorrow , those rubber buttons are a turn off.

But maybe Yamaha knows what it`s doing , maybe there IS a reason they did not use plastic , although I can`t figure out why.

I would buy the E-80 , it`s not that pricey , but for the money the S900 is a true steal , as far as features and price.

Care to ship a new good S900 to N.H. USA !!

Take care,
Gary
