Hi Bluezplayer,
my point was the kn5000 was already out of production a year when the mz2000 was introduced (and sounded much better too - subjective I know).
the mz2000 came out here at £1299 vastly overpriced for its market quality level.

very soon it was heavily discounted. then casio gave £300 trade in for 'anything' else to garner sales. this meant you went to your dealer, bought a £49 casio mini-key board, and gave it straight back to him for £300 off an already heavily discounted mz2000.

the poor souls who bought at top price when it came out found themselves with something virtually worthless as a trade in. but - relatively good value if you waited for the huge drops in price, or bought second hand.

over here is different with technics easy to find and compare and gem and ketron relatively rare with tiny market share for example.
