Back to the core of the problem:
As you know, I have an SD1 and I like it a lot, but after trying Eric's 9000 pro I think I would like having one, for the following reasons:
- beautiful looks
- great action (76 notes, semi-weighed keyboard, a pleasure to play)
- great sounds: acoustic piano, electric pianos, organs, soprano sax, accordeons, synthy sounds.
By the way, while I was in California, I tried both the 9000 pro and the PSR 2000: maybe it's true that they share the same waveforms, but I think that the 9000 pro sounds better and this could depend on the effects. Take a Rhodes piano: it can sound just good or terrific, depending on the quality of the reverb or the chorus. I think that the 9000 pro has a better DSP, and that makes a difference.
Just my Sunday morning thoughts.
