I guess we need to open up this forum to a few psychologists and/or marriage counsellors (provided they take our side!). I managed to get 'approval' for my KN7000 purchase because (a) I play my KN6000 a lot - far more than I have played any previous instrument, and (b) I told my wife the change-over price, to which she said something like 'That sounds alright'. So the next day I rang my dealer and placed the order.

Grampa Doug - since the KN7000 has a built-in keyboard cover (just close the lid) this could be a great reason to upgrade.
