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.
Yes, I forgot about the improved keys and the speakers in my analysis.
You also forgot to mention joy stick which is day and night for me as well as professional audio out.
This puts the whole sound in a different category.
Made a huge difference in my Genos.
