Thanks again for the info .

Perhaps it would help if I outlined what I wish to do really with my keyboard .

I have little interest in going on stage and performing , I wish to create music of my own . I care about sounds and recording my own music .

If you are familiar with Depeche Mode I don't want a keyboard that can only manage the kind of cheap sounds that Vince Clark used to make back in the early 80s . I would like something more in line of the later Depeche Mode

Now I could go for a synth workstation rather than an arranger keyboard which would mean I would have to buy some speakers which is no big deal . However as I understand Synth workstations have no preset styles , you have to make your own which I want to do certainly but it is nice to have some preset ones which can also be edited .

If I got a synth it would probably have to be one with a built in sequencer rather than a software based one which I have to use on my PC .

On the plus side they will probably sound better than Arranger keyboards for the same price.

Anyway what I got out of those user comments is that the Korgs sound better and have a better sequencer while the Yamahas have more features and are easier to use .

Anyone disagree there ?
