Hello Scott,

I know where Starkeeper's coming from It makes little sense for me to digress and finally go live, but......... If I were as talented as some of you guys, a top notch instrument, with all the bells and whistles, might work. But I sound the same on everything. I worked out a few songs on the EXR7s (somewhat cumbersome), but they sound great. It's a keyboard that'll keep you busy, which would be good for the audience. The 3 is smaller and lighter, but will sound the same. The key feel is what I like most. Whay not for $299 Of course I'd lay bets that I'll never play a note away from home.....very busy professional career.

Thanks for sharing.
