Purchase a quality headphone set, then sit down at each of these keyboards for at least an hour, put them through their paces without the aid of a distracting salesperson, then make up your mind as to which best fits your needs, sounds best and has the most user friendly operating system. Something else that must be seriously considered is the level and quality of technical support.

The reason behind this is everyone hears things differently. Each person has his or her specific requirements or needs, and you are the only person that knows your budgetary limitations or requirements.

There are lots of high-quality, good-sounding keyboards available for under $2,000. Each has a list of attributes as long as your arm, and they all have some negative aspects as well. Only you can decide which of these boards is right for you.

After buying a keyboard, most of the good folks at this forum can help you through some of the pitfalls by answering specific questions pertaining to navigating the various operating systems, or making the board sound a bit better than it did right out of the box.

Good Luck on whatever keyboard you decide upon,

Gary
