I think if I were playing professionally (OH now thats a scary thought!) I would have the best pro board I could afford on the market. Making money from the equipment would put the "buying a new keyboard issue" in a whole different ballgame. I would probably be more concerned about sounds quality etc.
For some, their talents can shine bright on the meakest of equipment for others well we need all the help we can get! ha-ha I guess we all have different tastes! I haven't found a keyboard that I like everything about yet. Give and take is the best you can do with what they produce.
Arranger keyboards are like cars. I still have some Volkswagons (Casios) sittin around here. I bought their (Casio) Jetta model (MZ2000) and now I am going for the Toyota (camry) PSR2000. Boy I am losing it today! For a couple thousand more I could have....
What would a Lexus be? Anyone?
Hope I didn't offend anyone!
