I would buy Ketron again because:

1.- Give you features NON existan in ANY other Kb. example: Separate Mic output from keyboard when using vocalist.
2.-Up to 4 sounds in Program besides split, that you can layer, velocity switch, re-split.
3.-Customize Footswitch in different configurations, like the volume 4 switch pedal plus any of: 6, 13, or 9 swithes.
4.-The STYLES and Great SOUND generation.

5.-When you are buying a luxury car like BMW or alike, you do NOT ask if it cames with tinted glass.....Mi SD1 is LOADED...the others, everything is optional.
6.-The unprecedent Technical support, OS, etc.
I always say, "when you became KETRONIZED, you never go back to any other brand", you set the standars to high.
7.-The SD1 after 2 years, STILL, no other keyboard of ANY brand cames close overall sounds/features, perhaps some of the others have more "Flash", but I preffer "Dash", now, if the future Ketron Keyboards will include some cosmetic/ergonomic and some "flash"....well.....that will complete the near "perfect" keyboard, I know that is conceptual.
