I don't see the makers switching over to plastic bodies on the high end models anytime soon Donny. Sorry.., but I can't see this happening (at least not for a long while).

I can't wait to see any of the top three release a TOTL workstation made from plastic and see how consumers take that. Plastic seems to more acceptable in the arranger market for people who want feather light keyboards. Weight isn't as much an issue with workstation owners as you hear it brought up so much more in the arranger community.

People here bitched about the weight of a G-70 but as Diki and Fran can tell you that weight is for a reason... Clearly better quality DOES translate into increased weight. You want a featherweight then hey.., enjoy the plastic.., but there's a huge number of us who have no problem with a few pounds if it means it's built better.
