Perhaps Ian and Tony simply suffer from Jason's affliction:



The micro sized keys may not be "ideal", but they certainly are
acceptably playable and even become enjoyable for those of us willing to make adaptable adjustments to
our playing style. I had to do this when learning to adapt to synthesizer keys
from a fully weighted grand piano, and later to the even smaller Yamaha Psr/Tyros sized keys.
Interestingly enough, I'm now finding adapting to the micro keys a lot easier than my initial piano key to synthesizer key transition.

The big pay off (reward) for me is the new ability to so much more conveniently and quickly
take just about anywhere (on trains and planes, up flights of stairs etc)
this mere 9.26 lb keyboard, and at a drop of a hat.
Both me and my audiences are impressed by the KMA's appearence and are even more impressed with the sound.
Though Ian might possibly have become interested in the KMA if it were offered as a module,
its actually the KMA's all in one piece (including both keys & speakers) approach that "won me" over.
