I think I saw you comment on this in a post elsewhere as well. But ScottL has it exactly right. I am not involved in the "group purchase" effort in any way. I bought my 2000 from the cheapest source I could find. I got my keyboard fine, but I certainly was not happy with the dealer. I didn't make that mistake again. I got my 2100 from George Kaye. Although George is not "local" to me, as witnessed by my shipping charges, he is but a phone call away and on the other end of the line is a real person I know and can talk to. For many things I'll shop the internet and find the lowest price, but for the keyboard, I preferred to support a trusted Yamaha dealer.
