I am NOT excited. I'm actually very disapointed with what's available today....but I am optimistic. I have no allegience to any brand, and I'd rather not have to switch so often, but hey - you gotta do what you gotta do to stay happy. (or at least, get CLOSE to happy)
I don't play these things for fun. I play music for fun. The tools are just a means to an end, so I keep searching for the best fit.
Feature-wise, it's true that the 2100 has a lot to offer, but I tell ya - these baby keys are killing my technique. It's a crime to think that I need to RElearn a skill that I've been getting better at for 40 years. It's a muscle thing. My hands "know" where the keys are SUPPOSED to be. The Yamaha keys are definatly the biggest compromise in the instrument. The second that I can find a full sized, solid key with the performance I need - I'm outta here Yamaha.
This is a definate steping stone to something more profesional. Sigh.
