Yes I know I could have got one for 1000 Euros, but I am not in the financial position of some and I had to sell my keyboard to finance the purchase, only to find that (and through no fault of his) Dom had to put back the shipping date, a couple of times which then left me out on a limb as far as work went..
I had to VERY reluctantly pull out of buying one, because I just HAD to have a setup for some work that I could not cancel.
I had managed to get out of other gig dates (because of no keyboard) or get fill-ins, but some I just HAD to do.
Of course then the global financial crisis hit which then sent the cost of the MS soaring. So no I have the G70...Good keyboard that it is, it's not a Media Station.
Neither is anything Yamaha or Korg are going to serve up over the next 2 years either.

I have played a MS at Frans studio last year and enjoyed it once you get he hang of it....although some time later it is much more improved as I have read. The MS has so much promise and is a wonderful ergonomically designed unit with a super quality build, the buttons & large screen are a pleasure.....the features take a while to get used to but it all makes sense once you play for a while. This is not a beginners KB but I would say with some diligent learning you will feel comfortable in a short while. It can do so many things beyond the average arranger & is always a work in progress. Hopefully things will work out for MS in the future. Dominic is surly trying hard to make that a reality!
