Applex,

I am not interested in any accessories since I already have other gear. The important things for me are:

Sampling (Mostly percussion audio loops in styles)
Decent sounds to use live
Decent Mic input and vocals mixing
76 keys with good key feel
Vocals Harmony
Flash based factory styles and sounds so I can customize the entire keyboard and not just the user presets.

I think all of these are available right out of the box, am I correct? I looked into Tyros, 9000pro and Roland VA but all of them are missing one or more option that I really need.

Tyros: No Sampling and 76 keys
9000pro: Factory styles are not programmable, Mono sampling, almost the same price as Pa1X
Roland VA76: No Sampling and 76 Keys

Music123 gave me a shipping date of 1/1/04. We'll see if it is available then ...
