AJ, perhaps you can answer this

Any information as to when the Ketron SD1000 or MidJPro will hit the stores ?

I was planning to buy the SD-2 to go with vArranger. Now I see that there is a newer model SD-1000 mentioned on their website
Ketron Musikmesse 2012

Spec wise it does seem like an upgrade over the SD-2.

And the MidJPro is with a touch screen... interesting
