Thanks, Miami, but they did get away. One is at a local Dallas pawn shop (one of the reasons I demurred) so it may become available again. I was also just a little intimidated by the manual. Appears there's still a lot of synth mentality in how they're operated, but I trust your judgement on that.

I'll continue my research, trying to find as many keyboards locally I can to lay hands on and watch for deals. I'm thinking the last generation Yamaha's will drop in price, and if I could find a reasonable Roland E-50, that would be attractive. (Not as sure about the EXR's which already are available used at decent prices. Any thoughts?)

I look forward to the day that I can ANSWER questions here as well as ask.
