hi folks , I've been reading this thread with interest .
My advice to you all is this :- the Grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence !!!
once you cut thro all the hype on the other brands you will find that some makes have very unuser friendly operating systems !!
many of the other brands have a great lack of song specific styles !!available for purchase .
Whilst most makes have good onboard styles very few are song specific .
i know I've said all this before , but Technics/Technote spoilt the Technics users with a good range of usable styles covering a wide Genre !!
Think carefully , don't rush into a new keyboard .
Ask yourself "will it really do all i want it to do "
Will i have to change /drop large parts of my gigging reportoire if i purchase a new board ??
Do i have the time to change !!!
it can be a big task !!!
These are only my thoughts ... for what they are worth !!!
Whilst i have 2 other brands of expander / keyboards to use with my midi accordions .
If I'm totally honest I'm only really totally happy with one make and that is TECHNICS ......for most of the reasons I've mentioned .
Best regards to you all .....Giovanni
