Hi Diki,
I totally agree with your points. I didn't even think about the expression pedal on the B3s - you are right on point. I spent about 5 hours with the BK-9 today and discovered a few more things. I paid more attention to the two screens and they do provide different information while playing. Honestly, I am liking the BK-9 more with each session I spend with it. Today I managed to get a play list for a gig setup in a performance folder. There is a lot to learn because I am discovering there are several ways I can play the keyboard and get some very good results.
By the way, the Bose L1 Compact has no built-in EQ system - it all must be done either with a mixer or on the keyboard.
Anyway, the VMA show is starting and I'am off to watch it.
