He didn't come out and say it, but gathering from the pictures and what Steve didn't say... looks a lot like we're headed for the same old lousy key feel.

Maybe I'm wrong, but for the most part I'm done right now.. I'm not even interested in the 3000 any more. If at some point I find a good deal on a non PSR arranger that I can use for a backup, I'm going that route instead. otherwise I'll live with what I have, and if my PA80 breaks down and I have to entertain as a solo player and maybe use a midi file or two to balance it, so be it. I can handle it. The Motif ES comes along with me anyway. No big deal.

Like everyone else, I want to entertain and be successful at it. I don't overdo it with the soloing, but when I do solo, I want to showcase my abilities and I want a good tool that I feel comfortable playing an intense solo on. The PSR keybed just isn't it. I played a $300 USd Casio WK clone in Radio Shack that had more life in it's key response.
