Here I am waiting patiently for the SD5 to come out and then I'm notified here that Kaye's Music Scene in California has "bought the distributorship" from Lou and Aldo. I spoke to the gentleman there and he's not sure what's going on with Ketron but DID mention the new Korg PA-800 is probably a better unit right now than the Ketron ever was. I understand Kaye's is familiar with the Ketron keyboard as they have handled it for a while now.

MY PROBLEM: I'm a professional player and I want to buy a new auto-arranger keyboard. I'm too good of a musician to buy an inexpensive keyboard. I don't like the new Roland's or Yamaha's or previous Korg's. I had my mind set on buying this authentic sounding Ketron unit.

Do I wait for Ketron to take another step in the US until I'm an old man? Any of you folks like something else as much as the Ketron? I'm open to comments about ANYTHING and ANY IDEAS at this point about my dilemma, about purchasing a new keyboard, as I'm completely out of ideas (aside from taking up the guitar).

Thank you.
