Yes, everyone is different, and we have different priorities in life. I always wanted to be connected to music in every way I could. However, I couldn't always do what I wanted and provide for my family, so I had to settle for being a weekend warrior with limited money available for instruments. I remember having a D-20 with a Casio 101 fitted with tongue depressors for a bass pedal.

Nowadays, with limited time left, I will not accept anything less than the best for my needs. For me, my PA4x, Audya 76, and S970 covers all the bases nicely.
