Hello George Kaye,
It seems that your first impression of the 88 hammer-weight replacement of the DGX is positive. Since you are a trusted person on the SZ arranger forum I think it's time I started saving my pennies for a new keyboard.
Of course, there are a lot of questions I'd like to ask regarding voices, styles, storage media and presence of a line output (I really hate my DGX for not having a line out).
I hope this matter will have been clear by the time this keyboard is available on the market.
I wish you fast recovery form the back surgery.

George V.

PP Please let me ask a quetion re Yamaha keyboards in general. Why there is so much time (6 mo) between the announcement of a keyboard and its market release?
