Geroge and Dan0,

I agree with you both in that I feel the EM's are way overpriced. For the quality of the unit they should be placed in the same price range of the lower PSR's. Hell in musicians friend they are asking $299.99 for the EM-15 and $399.99 for the EM-25.... That's a little high in my opinion considering they don't have pitchbend wheels, no style recorders, and so forth. At least the Casio WK series offer both a pitch bend and modulation wheel. I think Yamaha needs to start doing that.. Why they make these great keyboards like the PSR-550 and don't include a modulation wheel is beyond me. From what it looks like the EM-55 has most of the same set up and quite possibly has the same stlyle editing limitations of the lower models. It will be nice to see this one soon... Any word on when it's to be released, or will we not know until after NAMM?
