OK, In spite of all the recommendations here that I should save up a few more dollars for the PSR3000, or instead go with the Korg PA50 with it's better sounds, I've instead picked up a PSR1500 from eBay.

I had a PSR2000 a year ago, when I started lurking here at the General Arranger Keyboard Forum, but had to sell it when I needed some cash. But I missed the keyboard and finally decided to fill that empty void. Being familiar with how the PSR arrangers work, and not quite having enough money for the PSR3000 (and not wanting to wait any longer!) I took the plunge.

I've decided that PSR1500 owners should stop living in the shadow of their bigger brothers (3000, Tyros) and stand to be counted! The 1500 is a great keyboard -- maybe not all the polyphony, Sweet/Cool voices, and vocal processing of the other guys, but still a great instrument. Come on, there's gotta be some other PSR1500 owners out there. I know the 1500 hasn't been a great seller for Yamaha, but I'm sure I'm not the only person who couldn't afford a 3000. Anybody else want to 'fess up?? Maybe I'll start a "PSR1500 Owners Anonymous" group.
