Man... Thats what I'm talkin' bout!
Remember the days of getting your buddy to help with that wonderful suitcase piano. Rhodes was the thing you had to have if you were anybody. I'm pretty sure that weighed a little more than 50 pounds. I remember there was no way I was carrying that thing anywhere by myself. Sure the 9000 is heavier than the 2000 or the 740 or the Tyros or a host of other keyboards. However, when it was produced it was herald as a great tool for musicians allowing them a multitude of advanced features. I guess it's the case of, things never being good enough. My goodness we clamour over a keyboard that weighs 50 pounds while we drag around our speakers that weigh almost double that. My Yamaha 15" with 12" horns must be in the neighborhood of 80 pounds. Try putting those on tripods by yourself.
Anyway... this business or hobby or ministry or whatever your doing it for is not the instrument of thin air. Remember our roots are in the Heavy acoustic piano realm. You want light weight, get a harmonica or a kazoo. Thats where I weigh in. IMHO
