Not many would desire to load this puppy up for every gig but non-gigging musicians or for those who gig with other equipment, it's an inexpensive stay at home hybrid that fills a niche like few, if any other instruments in its class or price point. Kudos to Korg for their innovative leadership in this area. (Now if they just make the next version a little prettier...like hide those hiddeous car stereo speaker grilles.)
