i couldn't agree more with you george however why should an oriental version be more expensive than the original version ,for instant in the X1 case i would have to buy the 6 disks oriental kit for $400 on top of the keyboard price and i think that's a total ripp off,same thing with the GEM WK series you have to buy an oriental kit,i personelly think it should be cheaper,why,because try to get any support for those oriental version from either roland or Generalmusic or in particular solton where no body knows jack sh...and they act like they know it all and they make you feel like WOOOO why are you calling us don't you know we're GOD ,FAX US WHAT YOU NEED AND WE'LL ANSWER YOU ,and they don't.
my 2 cents
