I'd been wondering about the differences between a 6000/6500 and 7000 myself. If you put aside the 'major hardware' additions such as SD card storage, USB connection, video monitor connection etc., what do you actually get 'new' that can be used when simply sitting down and playing it? Yes there are some revamped styles and some extra voices, but much else? Nice as the 7000 appears to be, I probably wouldn't use much of the new stuff as I tend to sit and play 'live' most of the time.
