i've had mine for a couple of days. i had to re-learn the roland programming system, but for the price it's a nice machine. pros are light , nice sounds, great midi,mp3,wave playback, alot of editing menu driven features.,can search and setup while playing (sort of), if you setup each song you do the way you want and save (like the yamaha,korg songbook feature),then its a great backing machine. cons are small screen (for these 65 year old eyes). not very good for playing"on the fly" meaning it is menu driven however if you do a song setup and save ,you should have no problems. i had a va76 and this is close.
