Gosh,

You all are a quiet bunch: probably those of you who've already bought the new gear are too busy enjoying it to respond .

Well, here's what I've found so far:

1) the 5080 won't be available until June/July; the 3080 is available.

2) the local Sam Ash had a XV-88 on the floor: one very cool unit, indeed.

3) lowest price I've found so far:

http://www.keyboardshop.com

They're selling the XV-3080 for $1218, XV-5080 for $1736, XV-88 for $2040. The company is in N. Europe, so shipping would be a bit pricey ($74 for 5080, $135 for XV-88) but still better price than what the biggies advertise.

Anyone had prior dealings with this company, or better leads?

Thanks,

Christopher
