frankieve,
Very valid points and the auto analogy is one I have used often myself...."the mercedes repair facilities are full every day too."
Good point about equal % of defectives as well, if it works that way. However to use your analogy, if Yamaha makes a million boards and only 3% are defective while Ketron makes 100,000 and 10 % are defective then the percentage of defectives is obviously still 7% higher regardless of how many boards that actually represents in numbers, so the chance of having trouble with the Ketron is 7x's as great.

From the small sampling we are seeing here, there are certainly more reported problems with the Ketrons rather than any of the others.
