I did like the keys on the 1000, but I don't like heavy keys.
I never got it to sound like I wanted it to sound. I missed many of the controls on the 4x.
The VH was o.k., but not nearly as good as 4x.
I really tried to like it but never came to terms with it. I had the 900 sounding better, but maybe it was just me.
Scott Yee LOVES the 1000.
No doubt it's a fine arranger, and if I hadn't previously had the 4x, I might have kept it longer.
