All the best,

Yes, I agree ... I would never rate a keyboard - or ANY instrument - based on internet demos, nor would I judge a new instrument based on the sound of older models (I wouldn't judge a new vehicle based on the performance of older models either wink ) ... I also believe that the beauty of sound is in the EAR of the beholder ... and very often we stick with what we are accustomed to ...
