I meant to put my "Reflections on my trip to Guitar Center" post in this thread. In it, I mentioned my disappointment in the sounds other than piano on the Privia PX-555R, when compared to the Yamaha DGX505.

I did have one more question on the new weighted hammer DGX505 replacement (YPG625). Since I like the sounds so much on the 505 I tried, do you think the lack of a drive on the YPG625 will be a big deal? I mean, I guess I'm assuming the YPG625 will have enough memory onboard to hold a few songs I throw together at home? Like for when I go on break on a gig, or custom "Ta-dahs" for a pageant?

Would rather leave the laptop at home. One less thing to lug, lose or get stolen. Anybody? George? It'll be hard to wait 'til June!

Thx again,
Rick
