So why is Electones still sold and popular in asia (JP) and not here? Do they have (spend) more $$$ than us on keyboards?

I really liked my HS8, it was a completely integrated unit...all set to go.

I do think I could create something here based on an arranger (I am talking cabinet & all)

I have MIDI connected a second (lower) keybed and pedals...but, the intgration has some drawbacks.
