I have to chuckle at the turn many threads take.

All Donny was tying to do was share some videos on the s910 and it then turns into the merit of one board over the other. How many times do we have to hear ad nauseum my xxx board can do this better than your zzz board does this? We all know that already.

Does it really matter in the big picture? Yes it does, but only to you and not necessarily to another SZ musician. My needs are pretty simple in an arranger, if I like what I hear and my audiences do that's what matters. I'm not playing with a band either, so I know that factors into the equation. I'm finding in the last few years I have about driven myself a little bit crazy trying to find what works best. Have had a g70, t2, psr3k, s900, Korg pa800, now Korg Pa2xPro and an s910. I gotta say I'm enjoying the s910 better than the T2 ( I had a T3 home for a weekend and I prefer the s910 to the T3 just personal taste). I like this s910 so much so that for my assisted living home gigs, I will start using the s910 vs. the Pa2xPro in those locations. The new improved MFD function has been a factor in that decision.

Sure I jump around with brands and models of boards. Do I fully get to know each board? No I don't, but I'm having a hell of a great time make a few bucks with it, then when I find something I think I'll enjoy more I'll sell and move on.

On the subject of 76 keys I wanted 76 keys for so long on a Yamaha board, but times have changed, I'm doing vocals for most of my 1 hour gigs and find less a need for 76 keys than I did 3 years ago when I was only playing instrumentals. Add that that 90% of the venues I play have a nice grand piano sitting in the same activity room or rotunda where I play. When I want to play that insturmental on the piano, I just slide over and I have 88 keys, works for me and the audiences.
