Actually, I'm gravitating to the SD-1 plus. I've always thought the real drums and styles were good and the solo horn and saxes are comparable to what I like about Yamaha's. That's why I'm interested to see if they've improved their piano any. If so, I may be sold. However, I saw some discussion about the original SD-1 being not too intuitive and easy to learn and has an inferior sequencer. Perhaps these were some of the improvements in the SD-1 Plus? Anyone know?

My uses will not be live performance, but composing and recording, so I'm less concerned with getting around the board quickly. I'm mainly concerned with quality of sounds-mostly realistic styles. I like the hip Korg Styles, but I think the sampled live drums on the Ketron make it a more realistic backing rhythm section.

Anyone know if the SD-1 Plus piano is better than the old one?
