Despite me being a previous owner of a couple of Casio models in the 80's-as well as a WK-3800 owner,I have been out of touch with Casio for most of the last 20 years and I was not even aware of the MZ-2000 until now....so I can easily understand some of the disappointments people here have toward the WK-7500.
However though,it's all about the sounds & I'm sure that Casio's sample quality has improved since then.
I'm also glad that Casio finally discarded those horrible floppy drives!

It's really amazing to me that how people's estimates of the possible price points vary so drastically.
The individual who mentioned the $500 price tag is either from Mars,or has never set foot into the semi-pro/pro world of keyboards.
Think about it...the WK-3800 only had 6 tracks,no pattern mode,no quantizing,no metronome,half the polyphony and half the tones.
Then on the other distant end of the spectrum,we have an individual who predicts that the WK-7500 will be a $1,000??

Doesn't this person have any clue as to what can be had for this price?
The Yamaha MO6,Korg M50(which buy the way,has 80 note polyphony,5 insert effects,3 master effects,a 4 X 5" touch screen display and is a scaled down version of the M3) and for $300 to $500 more,one could get a Kurzweil PC3LE6.

The person who mentioned the $700 to $900 range is most likely to be right on the money.

If by some remote possibility the WK-7500 ends up being $500 or $600,then it's going to be a horrendous piece of sh*t in terms of sounds and if it ends up being a grand,then the sound quality had better live up to that price tag,or Casio is going to go belly up.

I really miss some of the sounds & effects of the WK-3800 as they were unique,so if the WK-7500 is a step up from the 3800,then the 7500 should be a banging deal.

I really think Casio will be slitting their own throats,if they don't keep this board under a $1,000.

By the way...how much did the MZ-2000 go for back in the day?
I could not find a price on it anywhere,on the net.
The MZ's display screen was very impressive...I could not believe it when I saw it in a YouTube vid...but then again,I have no idea what the price tag was on it??
