Well, I've got the new 2600 and love it. Previously had the 6000, then the 6500. Not regretful at all on the change. Recently added the new PSR 2100. Much of Ensnareyou's comments about the 6000 apply similarly to the 2600 in a comparison to the 2100. The Technics is definitely a better-built and sounding board for my tastes. However, the 2100 has some nice touches---mainly the country styles, which I often need. Plus, the many free styles available at support sites.
