I would also be totally lost without my KN7000 and like a number of others it also has a number of buttons with the paint worn off. I find myself enjoying it more every day and the pleasure it gives me far exceeds any monetary value.
Here in Melbourne, Australia they are also pretty thin on the ground with prices around the equivalent of £1400 which is about what I paid for mine new. It is probably time I started thinking seriously about a second one, but the only one I know of here at the moment has a price tag of around £2300.
I appreciate Fred's posting regarding the two in Holland, but I think the cost and logistics associated with transport make it impractical for me to purchase one of these.
