Posting to Synth Zone re Casio 7500

This is my first time on this forum and I must say the politeness, respect and information on this forum is absolutely first rate. It is pleasure to read the comments.

As an Yamaha Electone owner/operator I wish to upgrade an go back to a single "piano" keyboard which I have always missed. I had settled on Casio WK 500 (A$699) till I played the Yamaha NP V80 (A$799) which had impressive quality of sound. Then I surfed the net for an equivalent priced Casio when I came across the 7500.

I emailed the Australian Distributors on when and how much and they replied exactly "The ETA for the WK7500 are end of November, suggested RRP A$727.23 Incl".

This makes it look like a WK 500 supercede. The WK 7500 does not appear to a have numbers sub keys as does the WK 500. I wonder how they will get up the various songs.

You can make your currency adjustments.

Question: How will 76 keys affect me over 88 keys? Will I regret not going the extra dollars to buy 88 over 76? I can get a new Casio 8000 (last new one in existence I think)but that is at least 5 years old technology and a discontinued model at that.

As you can see by my posting I play for personal pleasure only, therefore I am my only critic and I am'an old fart to boot'. LOL.

Thanks again for all your very interesting contributions thus far. They make for great reading and a great source for very helpful information.
