Even though it's a home keyboard it still packs a punch for what you pay It's obviously no PSR-3000, but it gets the job done. As far as styles I dont see too much of the older models. I do hear the MZ-2000 throughout this keyboard! It's like Bluezplayer said "It's like a junior MZ-2000". That's basically what it is too. It would have been nice if they carried over the style recording they had on the models before this, but they added so much to the new and with all these additions something had to go to keep the price down. I don't think Casio really aimed this keyboard for people like us (those who are heavy into writing music and thos of us who record our own styles)...... Everyone I knew who owned the WK's prior to the 3000/3500 didn't even use the style recorder. I will say that when they release the next model, if it's anything better than my WK-3500 I'll buy it without question. I think Casio is on the right road here.
