Thanks George, I could find no dealership in Australia for Solton unfortunately. The PSR 8000 was retailing here new for around $6000 aus, now going out for $2800 aus. Sounds as tho you have a pretty high opinion of them, there is a psr 730 going at $1300 and I was tempted as it is is very light, but then I dont want to replace a keyboard too often, as evidenced by the fact that I am still using my Roland D20 synth.....Thanks
