John,

I'm trying to grasp your drift in this post. But to me this boloney about what is a Pro Keyboard and what is not is what bothers me. I can take a lower end $200-$300 arranger keyboard of any brand and go out and make music and money with it which I have done on occasion, but I choose to use a Solton X1 at this time because thats what makes me happy performing with it. Now, does that make it a Non Pro keyboard or a Pro keyboard because it doesn't have speakers, or other features or cost less? The "PRO" is In The Person using it and getting Paid to play it. This is a non win situation discussing whats best in keyboards. I'll bet everyone on this forum plays differently and thinks what they use is "THE BEST" and they have every right to do so as long as they are happy doing it. This will never change no matter what comes on the market year after year. Playing music comes from within and is a Super Personal Expresive feeling that we musicians put out wheather at home or professionally on stage. Making yourself happy inside first playing music and then make others happy performing is what "The Magic is All About" IMHO.

Have a Great Thanxgiving!
