Dont feel too bad Roger. I've been reading some of the posts on the "other" forum with users of Yamaha 9000 / Tyros vs. Psr2100. The cheaper Yamaha is a very good board, but its standard of construction is way below that of the 9000 and from what I've seen the PSR 2100 users frequently bemoan features that are cut down or missing. I haven't seen the new KN's but I suspect it will be a similar story. The KN7000 is a professional instrument, made for players like yourself who use it to make money. I suspect the new KN's will be like the smaller Yamahas, good boards but nowhere near the same league. Good amateur boards perhaps, but not for professionals. (I'm sure this will invite comment from dedicated PSR2X users !)

BTW How did last Tuesdays meeting go ?. Sorry to miss it, but family crisis took precedence.
