I know what you mean. I bought the PSR3000 about a year ago. Mostly because it's lightweight so I could carry it the few times I take my Keyboard out. This year I bought a Casio WK3000, I think it was $399, can't remember. It's fun and satisfies the urge for something new...just as you said. Of course nothing compares to the beautiful sounds of my 7000!

Happy New Year and Happy playing.
