The reasons that the Casio WK-7500 can beat the PSR S710;
the WK-7500 is a workstation,which means that it has a midi sequencer(pattern mode,quantize,event edit)
Value priced,as Casio did not dump the bulk of the expenses on the screen.
Try and record 16 tracks of audio without any midi sequencing & quantizing on the PSR,without it sounding like a train wreck.....as if you can pull that off,I would be very impressed to no end.

I don’t believe the WK 7500 can record 16 tracks of audio.
Now instead of arguing if the WK-7500 is a workstation or arranger, we should look at who is the potential market of this keyboard.
Casio is hoping that this offering could appeal to those who would buy a Yamaha S710. Some one who would want something quick and easy and primarily want to play at home but gives them the possibility of taking it on a gig with out no hassle.
I don’t think we can classify it as being an entry level but it is more a way for Casio to get recognized in the pro market. If semi pro players start using the WK 7500 on gigs, then that would give Casio the incentive to create a keyboard with more features that could compete with a PSR S910.
