I think your dealer is misleading you. The tones just aren't there. I had one which my boy inherited. He plays it much less than his PSR-740. It does not, in my opinion, match up with the X1 or KN6000, which I and my wife have, nor the G-1000 which I have used. If at all possible, before you decide play one of the others so you can make your choice based on your ears. Perhaps someone in the forum is near your area who can help you.
