Except for the styles, the Fa06 that only cost halt of the bk9 has so much more to offer, FA06 plus bk7..


Fantom G is 8 years ago.

I don't think FA-06 has much more to offer, it also has several disadvantages to the BK-9, also soundwise. Apart from the few SuperNatural sounds (more than BK-9, but no brass and wind), the core of the PCM sounds is the old XV 5080. In contrast, the BK-9 has all the newer sounds from the E-80 and more. Try to find saxophones in the FA-06. All the good ones of the BK-9 are missing.
FA-06 plus BK-7m is a different thing. I pondered long whether it isn't enough to keep the BK-7m together with my MoXF.
But there are two more interesting things about the BK-9:
- 76 keys, and a much better, more weighted keybed than FA-06 or MoXF
- the very useful chord sequencer, that allows you to quickly record a chord sequence, and then use the left hand freely.
