With the ability to tweak the sounds whether Sample or User Playback or FM Synthesis, etc. as Nigel said, the Fusion should really be a winner. Even out of the Box the acoustic sounds were pretty good but with the ability to tweak those sounds to your hearts content is great. It has a 32 track Sequencer, USB "2.0" connectivity, it comes with a 40 Gibabyte Hard Drive, it is able to stream Audio from the Hard Drive, it has a totally new Sound Set with the "Q Up Arts" Holy Grail Piano included, Analog Modeling, Physical Modeling for Acoustic instruments, it is able to 'record' and 'playback' "8" tracks of '24' bit Audio, plus Compact Flash support. The Polyphony is up to 180 notes. It has S/PDIF Outputs (Optical AND Coaxial), Midi connectivity, up to 192 MB of Sample RAM, 120 MB of WAV ROM, plus many others features and bonuses with the biggest bonus being the price in my opinion. The 88 Key version can be had for under 2 Grand!! Wow!!!

Also the 61 Key version only weighs 30.4 lbs!

Best regards,
Mike
