Miden, I think you and I have the same arranger tastes. My opinion of the E60 is not good. It is awful for live play and at best, is a continuation of their pitiful E-09 series (IMO). Don't see many playing 'em these days??? I couldn't wait to rid mine. Stick with the PA series.
Hey Jim, just curious why you thought the E60 was awlful to play live on stage...I always thought it was one of the best stage friendly instruments..You could use user programs or easily change instruments...it reads styles instantly from compact flash...and has the best edit tools in the business...all accessible while playing live...V=beam was also useable live (E60)..
The sound engine derives from the top E-80...
The reasons I sold the 3 that I owned....first someone wanted to buy them at prices I could not refuse...Second I would have liked an input since it had speakers..
The keybed was way better than the PA800 I had..and was a better playable feel and range...User friendliness was much better than the PA800...
And as you mentioned...I also was glad to get rid of the PA800(The most over priced arranger..second only to the Tyros4)
A clean E60 for under $600 is very desireable..about the same real value I put on a clean PA800...add $100 more if it has the optional MP3 card..
