Seconding what Bill E said. I wud want to test out a keyboard before I buy it. I wouldn't buy a keyboard on manufacture's hype or a couple of mp3 samples on the WEB. The trend is unsettling. Some companies, like Roland, have a poor WEB presence: few samples, no on-line manuals, their Canadian WEB site still have not removed discontinued models and don't feature the EM55 at all. Without authorized Roland dealers their products wud cease to exist. Without a local retailer I would find it difficult to make a purchasing decision.
