I agree that the MZ2000 came out as a very worthy competitor to the 740... and maybe the one area that it lacked vs the 740 for me was in styles. Also, the 740 had a harmonizer ( poor though it was ) MZ didn't

Of course, styles being the main draw to an arranger, that's a pretty big deficiency. Still, if Casio ever got that end of it right, I liked most of the other things about the 2000 vs the PSR of it's day. I had both at one time btw.

with not much on the hardware front on that Sonic State page.. if Casio ever were going to become a serious player again ( I liked some of their older analog synths ), now seems like it would be as good a time as any.
