thanks Fran, i guess i was was hoping the Stage
might have clear advantages in sound quality, key feel, and drum pattern choices, and that i could easily program some bass lines for when i wanted to use them, and that the only disadvantages would be losing the speakers and some of the arranger features. But if not then the only advantage is that it's hipper looking, a little smaller and lighter, and has
ipod input, mic input/vocorder, thumb drive slot. Without any sonic/feel/pattern advantages, the disadvantages outweigh the
advantages. Guess I'm an E60 guy for the duration.
