It's great to see both of you guys posting to this thread. I guess these forums are a bit like a time capsule. Even though 6 years does sound like a long time nothing has really changed too much over that time. We all still have that same passion for playing music and that is what really counts.

Hopefully we do get wiser and more mature as time goes past. But RD300 was a good piano back in 2000 and it still is. Sure sample ROM has grown over the yeats which sure helps but it is the feel combined with the sound that makes a digital piano fun to play. And like Ryan says tasteful FX processing and EQ can really make a useable sound into an inspiring sound.
