Can't agree with you more Donny on this matter.
What surprises me, is why someone would want to trade down from a Pro Keyboard like the EM2000, to a Yamaha 2000? Just because the Yamaha 2000 is "New Blood" - doesn't mean its better - not one bit.

About 2-3 years + ago, I had a Technics KN5000, and was pleased with it. However, at that time, the Roland EM2000 was also out, and I just couldn't afford this model (it was £2000), And had a KN5000 instead. I would have sooner had gone for the EM2000 (which my friend had - to my envy) which had better sounds (IMO) than the KN5000, with more Wave rom allocated to it (24MB).

There was also 1169 top quality sounds, and would have loved this model at the time over the KN5000. It was only when the KN6000 came out that I found a keyboard to surpass the EM2000, but the Roland EM2000 still sounds good to me, even today.

A swap from a EM2000 to a Yamaha 9000 might have been a better Idea (with a few cash adjustments here and there) but to go from a EM2000 to a Yamaha 2000 makes little sense to me to be honest, Unless marko, you yourself think it was worth it...

Your loss may be someone else's gain.....
