Hi,

I went to the musicstore today to play the WK8 SE. I played it for about 30 minutes and liked the instrument. I also played the Roland VA-7 last week and also liked it very much. I think the sounding is much better.

I didn't have to much time to play the VA-7 and I explored the WK8 a bit more.

What I liked about the WK8 SE:

-The option to create styles.

-You can load so called blocks which can be songs, styles etc. When you start a loaded song, the board starts automatically and you can see the lyrics and even the notes so you can play and sing along.

-A fade out button, very nice and handy.

-The 4 variations thing.

-And more, but forgot them already

But I DO like the VA-7 too, especially the sounding. Can anyone say if the VA-7 contains the above mentioned options too, or something like it? The price doesn't matter. Convincing me is the 2nd thing
