Ok, I'm a home user and PROUD of it. Frankly, I think (despite claims otherwise) just about EVERYONE here at Synthzone a home user as well.

Afterall, don't we all, in addition to taking our keyboard on the job aka: gigs , play our keyboards 'at home' too? It's really only the BIG TIME Pro musician who can really afford having their music business fully subsidize a dedicated building outside the home, solely for the purpose of music, and I'd doubt these guys spend time posting "daily" on Synthzone as so many of the purported pros here do. Am I wrong?

As a p/t performing Pro who happens to be a home user as well, I definitely appreciate the ability to conveniently record "on the fly" my live performances, and 80 minutes on the fly record time allows me to easily capture an entire set (both vocals & keyboard) with which I think is more than acceptable sound, evidenced by my song demos posted on my website.

I much prefer hearing live spontaneous performances (with the occasional glitches) vs the engineered & EQ'ed to death up studio recordings. Perhaps that's why I prefer name artist LIVE concert performances to their studio recorded counterparts.

The other advantage to having a convenient audio rec feature is the ability to later self-critique your performance and learn from it. This includes not only the music, but the audience dialogue as well, what works and doesn't work etc. It's a great built into the kb tool. The recording then can then be archived or simply deleted.
