I just got one of these bad boys and, being a previous owner of a (earliest to latest) Yamaha PSR500 (YUCK), G800, g1000, Yamaha 9000pro, this keyboard takes the cake when it comes to live use. I dont think I have ever had such an easy time adapting to anyone keyboard as I have to this one. I play mostly music from the mediterranean, and for my purposes it suits me perfectly. IMHO, this is the best live arranger out there today.
