Harold..., exactly! "Working Musician". Not everyone is a working musician.., I quit years ago. If I was still using it for a large portion of my income.., then the travel time in that respect I think would be moot, and I wouldn't think too heavily on the price of a particular keyboard as there would be a return on the investment. If you're not a performing musician.., a $2,000 and up keyboard is just that! It's simply $2,000+ that you're not going to see again. So it's not so easy for us (who don't perform or stopped performing due to other obligations) to drop that kind of dough or take a 6 hour road trip.

Again, not all of us are working musician's I know some of you guys have been performing most of your lives, but try to remember a time when you COULD'T afford to buy (2) of the same keyboard (one for main, and one for back-up)..., and when just buying ONE of them put a strain on you. It's a totally different game for the person buying these VERY expensive keyboards for home use.
