You are sure right on the weight Uncle Dave. Almost sixty pounds !! Might be ok in the studio but for gigging, I don't think so. I wonder where they are hiding the 5th speaker ? I only see 2 per side in the picture unless it comes with an external subwoofer. I'm not real crazy over the looks of any of the new keyboards myself. My wk8 is looking better everyday. Maybe manufaturers should design an arranger keyboard that would interface more efficantly with a pc rather and "all in one" design because unless I miss my guess the pc is here to stay for a while.
