Marilyn. I too, live in FL, so I know what you mean. The best I could find in my area, Tampa, was the PSR9000, but already owning the 740, I found it too similiar, to expend that many bucks. I recently picked up a 6500 on Ebay, without a manual, so I downloaded the 6000 manual, then later I found the 6500 manual. the only difference seems to be the extra styles and some more voices, so I wouldn't worry too much about the upgrade. i also recently bought a Solton X1, so, am in the process of comparison. The Sax on the 6500 doesn't compare to the X1 sax.
