John,
keyboard players in general have this addiction to also buy the latest and greatest and then that is a big form of compulsive buying to feel better until it wears off, I don't think that most of the players here have utilized their keyboard to their fullest and although many advancements in technology have made better equipment I feel we are getting fed the same rehash, the wheel gets re-invented every three years and I really don't see anything that you can say WOW! the companies that made the best boards are out of business that were way ahead of everyone else. The only other reason that you would buy a keyboard these days is because of aging keyboards that eventually need to be replaced, that would be the most logical reason to buy a keyboard.
