Fran,

I fail to see why I should try and convince you about the Technics/Casio when I am not completely convinced myself.

I do question your statements below,however,

" Ian, I need to correct you on the Casio chord recognition..Actually the MZ is superior to the PSR3000..You can turn on "on bass chord" that reads in any inversion other than root position.Also the designers of the MZ went farther...you can turn on "6th chord" recognition...and another feature,,you can turn on "tension chord"..

No where in the MZ-2000 manual (you provided the PDF web site for it) does it mention any of these modes.

The MZ-2000 uses the same old limited chord recognition system as the rest of the line and Casio has not progressed beyond this,even in the new ones. Full Range...Fingered......Casio Chord.

This is very much inferior to the PSR-3000 which offers 7 types . Even the old PSR-2700/1700 had "On Bass" back in 1993....(it actually began on the PSR-SQ-16 which was introduced even earlier)

The organ drawbar mode in the MZ2000 is different ..... it provides 8 drawbar positions(like a Hammond) as opposed to three positions in the WK series...a step backwards in my opinion.
