I'm with you Starkeeper, I'd take a PSR-1500 over an EXR-7 any day As far as 76 keys, I already have a 76 key arranger that would make a great controller You're right in that Roland is making some good voices now to compete with Yammies signature voices. When I listened to the EXR-7 demos I was impressed with the sound quality. Especially the sax, it sounded very nice. All around I think the EXR's are a nice line up. If roland wants to have a 16 track sequencer with not editing, and 100+ styles with no option for recording your own, that's fine, their choice. However don't do this and still ask $1,000 for the thing. If the EXR-7 had sequencer editing, and style recording it would be sititng in my home getting it's ass kicked out in tunes every day by me Now if the price for the EXR-7 was say $750 or just under $800 then I'd say hey great deal on that because you can alway record with the computer. However for $1,000 those features should already be there
