The only statement I can make, which I sincerely believe is relevent, is Don't Get Old. When I was young that PSR-5700 seemed fairly light, and hefting that 107-pound amp from the van to the refrigerator dolly was just part of a days work. And, those 105-pound speakers, what the hell, they sounded good. When you reach the ripe old age of 67 and perform one to two jobs daily, plus drive 40 to 75 miles between jobs in grid-lock traffic, lighter keyboards, regardless of the number of keys, is much better. In fact, anyone that hauls heavier equipment around, just because he or she thinks is better, is an idiot. If you sincerely believe that lugging that heavier crap around makes you a better performer/musician/entertainer you're living in the dark ages. Nobody gives a damned if your keyboard has 76 keys, 61 keys, 88 keys, of 200 keys. Your audiences could care less if your speakers are 10-inch, 15-inch, 20-inch or 36-inch--they just want to be entertained. This entire topic is utterly ridiculous. What the hell am I doing here? I'm going to mix up a good margaretta, prop my feet up, hope for good weather and go sailing.

Cheers,

Gary
