I was going to ask some things too, but Donny asked everything ( and more ) that makes a difference to me. Question 3 is a must for me. Everything stops right there if the key feel isn't better, and it doesn't have good speakers and weight. Questions 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are also very important to me, and I'd consider 4 ( ability to alter internal styles ) a huge bonus, but am not expecting it.

Otherwise, I have to decide whether to get a Tyros , a PA1x, or go in a different direction altogether. I like what I hear from the PA1x demo wise, but then again a lot of it does sound similar to the PA80, which I already have and like very much, so the PA1x isn't high on the list right now. Most of our live work consists of rock and blues, and overall I prefer the Korg stuff here, but I do miss a few of the Yamaha styles and sounds.

Other than that, I guess I'd like to give the SD1 a good workout.
