Nothing wrong with Casio. The Casio Corp has made a huge jump with the newer WK models. The WK line is nothing like their older models (with exception to the MZ-2000).

They have newer more up to date samples. Not to mention some very good sounding ones at that. Plus they even have some of their own signature voices such as the Velo Tenor and Velo Alto Saxes.

When you consider all the features on the WK models from the WK-3000 up and then look at the price I think it really speaks for itself. The only reason I went with the WK-3500 myself and dropped the PSR-550 was because of the changes Casio made, and that they used the MZ-2000 soundset (used to own that board too).

Just because they're sold at Sams and so on doesn't make them bad keyboards. Also keep in mind that the Casio WK-3000 and up will allow you to download WAV samples into the board. The newer WK's have twice the memory too for storing WAV's. That alone is a very unique feature for Casio considering no keyboard in the price range with these features offers that.
