Thanks for your reply Bruno.

I've now got rid of the PSR970 simply because all the extra button pushing aggravated my hands and made them painful. Having recently had a successful operation for carpal tunnel syndrome, apart from not being able to play (or type) for several months, I cannot describe the awful pain it caused, so I don't want to go down that road again.

I'm still play the KN7000 which doesn't affect my hands at all - thank goodness.
