Well, it WAS going to be my last post but this bombshell..... OMG! Fran as a dealer! I will NEVER say anything about one of George's reviews again!

Firstly, Fran, calling YOUR potential customer's comments a 'joke' just proves that bad salesmanship is not just a European concern, apparently (I AM one of those likely to be able to afford a MS). A smileyface is not going to cover up such disregard....

NOT comparing the MS to any other top of the line arranger..... a bad joke!

You and jonesboy are the only ones to comment on the styles from a perspective of the owner, so a 50/50 split as to opinions about the styles, and he isn't a rep. The rest of us just go to the website and listen to the demos. A bit more consensus there..... You don't have to play an MS to hear one and make your mind up.......

Let me add, probably 100% of the very few people that ARE likely to be interested in an MS (despite their sales staff's determination to insult them) already have at least a 16 track 24 bit computer recording capability, VST instruments, and all the plug-ins you can shake a stick at. These have LONG been available, at FAR less that the MS's Linux solution.

So what you are trying (sarcastically) to sell is something we already have. How much of this do we need to transport to the gig? Probably the VST and GIGA stuff only. Unless the styles blow my lowly, pathetic G70 out of the water (I know it's not a G1000, but it was all I could afford!), what need do I have for it?

Back in the day, Fran, you were quite prepared to comment on keyboards other than your own G1000, often with no more than a listen to manufacturer posted demos. Are you saying you were full of it then, or now?

The joke appears to be on us.......

Seriously, man, you know I like you, but would YOU buy something from someone that just talked to you like your last post? Try reading George's posts and reviews if you need any pointers on how to communicate with a potential customer. Respect and patience will get you more sales than insults and confrontation......

Now I AM off this thread! (Unless Domenik's been setting up Saddam as a dealer, too!)
