Scott, you're right that it pays off if the person has regular and frequent gigs. You'll of course see a return in your investment.

The thing is that not all of us perform anymore. So the initial purchase isn't something we see a return on (financially). It's just a huge chunk out of our pockets.

I know I've been hard on the PSR-3000 lately, but the only thing keeping that keyboard out of my home is its construction. $1,500 is a lot of money no matter how you look at it. I won't spend that kind of money on a keyboard that doesn't even have full size keys, full size pitch and mod wheels that are off good quality, Good switches (meaning contacts), ect.

Am I making sense? It's like buying a Mercedes Benz (that's a Mercedes on the inside, but the body is made by Daewoo:, but you end up paying the price of the Mercedes.
