I was planning to hang on until the summer and buy a new Yamaha PSR 3000. However, I have seen a secondhand 9000 Pro advertised.

Might this be worth snapping up instead ?

I would like a keyboard to create things with rather than a performance model and I'm interested in the best possible quality voices and ease of sequencing. I think, of the two, only the Pro allows sampling.

What are the drawbacks of the Pro ? Has it been discontinued ? If so - what is its replacement ?
