Thanks everyone for your replies. George you make some good points, but agian it falls down to individual needs... I can totally understand 1000 owners seeing what they're missing by not buying the 2000. Believe me I understand this.. I used to have the MZ-2000, and that too had the drawbars, and 64 voice poly. Thing is that I don't run into poly problems with 32 notes... The 1000 or 1100 for me will be a huge plus over what I have because of the internal sequencer, and more indepth style recorder, and L&R outputs.. I'm going nuts with the 550's headphone/output jack because it's too noisy when I record to external gear. Also not having a vocalizer or drawbars won't hold me back.. I sing all my own harmonies. I'm fortunate to have a large vocal range.... I used to get teased in school because of that too... In concerts I'd be singing with the guys in the baritone section, and for the next song I'd have to scurry over to the ladies and sing saprano with them... The 1000 or 1100 will be more than enough for me.. I use the keyboards sequencer for backing tracks, record those all down to an external sequencer, then record live guitar tracks, and then throw my vocals in with it.... I know the 2000 is a good home keyboard, but I really consider it a performing keyboard. Just look at what the guys here are doing with their 2000's and 2100's... Lot's of talent here...... For my needs (since I don't perfrom anymore), the 1000 or 1100 should be fine... I honestly would prefer the 1100 but it will depend on which one I can afford at the time... Either way in Feb I'll be getting one or the other... Again thanks..
