Merlin, I play the PSR 740 professionally, and it blows people away. Of course the PSR 9000 and 9000 Pro are superior keyboards, but they come with a big price tag difference. For me what has made them prohibitive is the difference in weight. I'm not doing one high paying gig a night like Uncle Dave is. I'm doing two or three gigs during the morning and afternoon hours.

I would think that the PSR 2000 would be more than enough for the needs and dreams of a non-professional player. That's my two cents worth.
