george kaye says he is impressed with what he has seen
of the build quality of the s900 v. the psr3k.

the complaints re reliability and wear may be well-taken,
but that has nothing at all to do with the fact the shell
and buttons are plastic, does it? as far as the music stand,
yes, but that is more likely due to poor design in relation
to the materials used. the low price point of the 3k may
have affected the quality of the interior parts. the s900
comes at a time when more quality can be built in at the
same price point.

and if you drop a plastic kb it can crack, whereas a metal
one won't..but a cracked shell is not really a problem
except cosmetically. it's what happens inside the kb from
the impact that is the problem. the plastic cracking vs
the metal actually absorbs more of the force so the
insides are less impacted..like crumple zones in autos.
