Dave - Never say "Never" - you just might be surprised in any or all cases! The S970 is a wonderful board for sure. If it weren't for trying to keep up w/my dear friend Stephen, I might still be playing the S970 - in which case I would still be very content!
So keep enjoying the wonderful S970 - and if, by change downstream, you get the opportunity to board the SX900 train, you will be a happy traveler with that instrument too!
