I thought the KN-7000 was rather nice. I enjoyed playing it and liked its looks. Plus, if you drop anything on it while it's closed you don't break the display. It wasn't as ergonomic as the PSR740 - trying to hit the registration buttons in a hurry was frustrating. The only thing that put me off was its lack of XG. No XG - not interested. Incidentally, I think my 740 looks very sleek - one of the reasons I bought it.
