Nello Cliff,
I have been using the X1 for the last 18 months. Recording with the X1 is fantastic. The sounds are much more natural then any of the Japanese manufacturers . The vocal harmony lit on the X1 is Much better on the X1 vs. Yamaha. Have you heard the keyboard's side by side ? I will be demonstrating the X1 and new SD1 at the NAMM show in Anneheim, California this January 2001 . I also happen to work for Guitar Center in Towson, Maryland . 30 day trial period with any keyboard purchase ! Try the X1....If you don't like then return it or..Purchase the PSR 9000 ! Good Luck and email me at oneils4@home.com or Call Guitar Center at 410-821-5200 .......
