I don't think there is any doubt as players, all of us enjoy the TOTL keyboards more than others. I would not argue that point with anyone. My situation is I had cervical spine surgery in August and might be looking at lumbar spine surgery for stenosis in the near future. For me, weight and size became a must consider rather than my ability to handle the gear. I would not have considered changing from my T4 had I not had to deal with the spine thing. On the other hand, when I started using lighter gear such as my little KMA or the S950 my audiences did not seem to care at all. Keep in mind, I don't play clubs or dances anymore. My audiences are 100 percent old folks living in retirement communities or assisted living facilities.

Yes, I will take a serious look at the specs of the PA900 when available as well as the BK-9 if I can get my hands on one in a local store. So far, not a single music outlet in the Dallas or Ft Worth area carries the BK-9.. go figure.
