To answer your question has 2 parts

part 1: I've learned in the past that no matter how much I consider buying something, and how I plan to use this thing, its easier to buy the top model, ex, at first you may think " I don't need a hard drive, or 76 keys? I only have 10 fingers. But as you progressin music and life things change, so is it better to have the most options available to you in the begining, or have you grow out of a keyboard, haveto sell it, take a loss, then buy the higher model later spending alot mor time and money in the long run.

Part 2 : What if I am on the way to a gig, and I'm crossing the road, and someone who has too much equipment in a very small car, can't see me and kills me dead. At least I had cool keyboards to play with before I pass.

Remember kids these are the feelings of Frank, not of everyone else.
