thanks guys, i wanted to know because there is one going on ebay out here (Oz) for $800 AUS (about 750US) and i have heard so many good things about it.pianos are not really an issue as i have a Motif ES Rack...what i do want is great key feel and a solid arranger.as midis make up about 65% of what i do .....i just need a half decent arranger for those odd moments(the sd1+, good as it is has really light "synthy" keys, about on a par with the pa800/tyros beds, imo)....the only problem is getting any sort of reaistic sale price for the sd1+, but i guess at the price the g1000 could be an addition to the sd1 not replace it...
thanks again
dennis
