Hi Lucky,
A really business-like synopsis you've done there - I'm sure, with the thought you put into it, that you'll wind up a happy man.
Nice to get so much feed back from everyone.

a) I've had my MS40 for many years (can't remember how long ago they introduced them) and I've never had a moments trouble with it. Still some good sounds on it and the strings still sound better than any other keyboard that I've ever heard.

b) Although I'm in the UK which isn't really relevant to you, I'm glad I've never needed any service or I may have been in deep sh*t - this comes back again to Ketron's lack of a dealer network.

To sum up: Brilliant instruments - company probably run by 2 guys named Stan & Ollie.

No, I'm not in marketing - I'm a retired grinder (little mester) from the cutlery trade and still like good quality products.

As for "The Full Monty? with it's lovely Yorkshire (Sheffield) humour - it would have been even funnier with me appearing naked but I'm very shy and all my time on stage has been spent fully clothed.
Best wishes,
Tony, Sheffield UK
