Hi Scott, welcome to the forum. I used to be a Lowrey player for quite a few years, but had to get rid of the console for a keyboard when we moved south. Best move I ever made - the kn6000/6500 will do everything but sing for you, if you take the time to learn what all the knobs and buttons do. You should have checked out the Technics keyboards at Walt Tenay's shop in Florida before you got the Yamaha, but there's still time before the new kn7000 comes out! He might give you a good deal on a trade-in.
