I think, the better you play, the less you require. When you reach the top of the heap, all you'll need is a good piano (Oscar Peterson, Bruce Horsby, Harry Connick, Jr., Elton John, etc., etc.). I don't think there is a single world-class keyboardist that owes his/her success to the number of gadgets on their keyboards. Learn to use what you have. Example: while nearly everyone complains about the poor quality of the on-board harmonizer in the Yamaha, Dan gets unanimous praise for his harmony work on his PSR3000. And 124 got kudos for his tasty accompaniment (Jambalaya) on his WWII-era I30 .

Now when's that hybrid T4/Audya2/Mediastation XXX, coming out? Damn, I can hardly wait.
