X series is way out of his price range. He liked the PSR-550's sounds, but the look and touch screen of the VA-3 caught his attention. He likes the PSR-550, but doesn't really care for the body design, and build quality. I told him if he liked the 550, he should take a look at the PSR-1000. He's looking to spend under $1,000..... For under $1,000 I suggested the Yamaha PSR-550, PSR-640/740, PSR-1000, Roland EM-55, and the Casio MZ-2000 (if he can find one).... He's interested in the VA-3, but I have no idea what that thing costs or even sounds like..
