Not necessarily - I am still enjoying my 8-year-old Roland G1000. I foresee that in the future I will have to replace it (because every piece of equipment has a certain useful life). Regrettably, there is nothing on the market to day which would be a definite improvement over my G1000. Sure, all the new instruments have some or other nice features, which are better than the G1000, but I am afraid that if I were to replace my keyboard today, I would be taking a step back in several areas.

I am sure there are others in the same boat as I am. Given that we have voiced our concerns for years and yet none of the manufacturers have addressed them all, I know that we the users do not voice their concerns, they will not be addressed altogether.

If you are 100% satisfied with the instrument you have now, more power to you. Please indicate this in your posts, and your opinions will be swiftly ignored - you would not be a customer for another instrument if you are completely satisfied already. It's the people who are not fully satisfied that drive the markets, and spend the money for new instruments, which is why IMHO voicing your dissatisfaction in a constructive manner (e.g. suggesting improvements) is a good thing.

Alex
