Ian ... I agree ... while on another thread I did post that in one of the demo vids it appeared that Yamaha was targeting an older clientele, the only thing that matters to ME is whether or not a kb fits MY needs ... my 13 year old technics kn6000 is STILL my favorite board, but I purchased a KORG Pa600 because of my current gig NEEDS - good sounds, styles, and PORTABILITY ...
Both boards have paid for themselves many times over and at this point in my career and my age - when taking long vacations with my wife is my top priority - spending $5000+ on a kb is not going to be a good investment ... but the board does sound good ...
Yes, Tony, you have met your needs with your choice...and, not only was your current choice a good one, but your earlier one (the Technics) was also spot on.
I wonder what your KN6000 sold for new back then, and what would that be in today's dollars?Some people spend a lot more money on other hobbies (like golf) than home keyboard players do, and some invest far more to start a business for profit, than professional arranger players commit towards their gear.
As I said earlier...it is
perceived value (the buyer has an
internal feeling for how much certain products are worth to him/her) rather than price, and, in your case today, the
priority of what to spend your disposable income on.
In my case, being a bachelor with no family, my musical interests have a high priority as they not only add to my income, but provide hours of diversion and fun.
So, the perceived value of a keyboard, to me, is very high and worth the extra expense to treat myself to the best I can afford.
