Somehow I just dont see myself replacing my KN 7000 with anything.. In fact I'd buy another for a spare in case I play this one into the ground. Even my 5K was great I think id had more punch than the 7K. I just wanted the SD card. Someone should try to gain the rights to the keyboards and also for the expansion cards. I heard rumors that one of the Technics people did try to broker a deal to another manufacturer and Technics wouldn't go along with it. Shame on them if that's the truth.
