Thanks for the kind words, but even a casual player will appreciate the longer keystroke, and more solid feel. It adds to expression. I have high hopes for this board. As much as I love my PA4x, the silent slab approach (no speakers) has always been hard for me. It's not awful, but it's a bigger adjustment with speaker/monitor placement. Having on board speakers in my face mean that I can use one or two S1s in the best position for the room, and not compromise on my sweet spot.
