Yes Gary the 3000 is everything you have said it is. I really am having no regrets. I just temporally got caught up in the new gear lust. I will move up eventually if I stay healthy enough. I'm still working in a book of tunes to play out of. I've got 27 in it now. I need lyric and chord sheets large enough for me to see. So I print them out in large fonts and put in notebook for use on the stand. Really no need for a new kb when I can't perform out with what I have because I haven't been able to spend the time necessary to get myself ready. I hope to dedicate more time to this in the future. I am also convinced that seeing as most people don't use 80% of the kb's capabilities I have a lot of area left to discover. I aim on pursuing using vst's with the MIDI functions. I have a couple of super vst's that would add a great deal of sound to the 3000 if I can set it up to play them. I also have a couple of ongoing projects I want to get to. If I use a DAW the are more then enough sounds on the unit to create great pieces. Just need to sit down & work with it. Will eventually upgrade. No doubt but I really can wait for the next great unit for now.
