Chas, I did listen to the C1 demos and read several reviews. All positive, mind you. I'm happy for you being so satisfied with it. Would be nearly impossible not to as it really does sound great.

Rehearsals can be a pain at any age. I used to have 2-hour rehearsals every Sunday for like five years or six years. At times fun, at times a royal pain especially when someone didn't show up. Yep, those guitar players with their backaches again although I would call them hangovers. But, hey, once those groupies start lining up you'll feel 20 years younger.

The Roland G70 and E80 are becoming more and more appealing but I'd opt for the former any time. Rather have 76 keys then another few extras that won't make that much of a difference.
