1500? i might not have to skip college after all. i was thinking closer to 5000$ (like how the older models are going now.) thats truely awesome. i was going to buy an electro primarily for the rhodes sound, but now i [might] be able to pay less for the real thing. not including shipping. :\. and i'll be really happy with a lighter touch. im used to the roland FP-2 for piano, and its like playing air.
