As a Technics user I understand where you're coming form in being spoilt! I'm the opposite from you, I had Roland keyboards before I went to the KN6000. All the things that annoyed me on the Roland......were done differently on the Technics. And done better! The Roland operating system just was not as user friendly by a long shot. The VA7 has the same things that annoyed me on my last Roland. Too many pages to scroll through to get anything done!
