Hi all. As a studio/songwriter/demo cd machine the Genesys could very well rock. 2 gigs for recording is definitely not enough though !! I was very surprised to see a 2 gig drive in a machine that boosts a cd burner. Once you load styles/songs etc to that drive there's not going to be much room left for audio anything. As far as the weight is concerned, this is a major problem. sounds like there's a good deal of weight tied up in the speaker system. Can you say psr9000 !! As far as looks go I think my wk8 looks much better. The features look real good though. Put it on a diet and give it a 40 gig drive and well see.
