I still believe that dropping the touch screen (remember, the E50 retailed at nearly half the price of a BK9) is a huge blunder.


Speaking of the E-50....I have decided to use the E-50 for senior gigs, because of the touch screen...making it easier to change up things on the fly, that involved a bit more menu changes on the BK-5....I also have the "cover" missing on the BK-5..The make up tools are easier to use with a touch screen too..
The playlist is also a great feature for senior gigs...

What the BK-5 brings to the table..is the best player (MP3, wave)...but it is not needed for senior gigs..

In deed the E-50 still has merits...


For now Fran it's a great combo for your needs with the G70/E50,.....that's just until your BK9 come in wink
then you will have a 76-key 20lb powerhouse BK-9 Backing KB to compliment the G70 that you can keep inside for studio use.. and gig with the new BK-9. cool2
