Hello again everyone! I had no idea how many responses--both here on the Forum and private e-mails--my brief comment would elicit.

But I have truly enjoyed reading all of them and appreciate the time you all took to respond. Although I am devoted to my 6500 (which I have had for only a couple of years now), I must admit I am getting more and more excited about the 7000. If I can get a proper trade-in price from the only dealer in my area, perhaps I may even succumb!

But I will wait until after many of you have gotten your new keyboards and can objectively (and subjectively) give your reactions and critiques. I don't know when the 7000 will be available here in the U.S. and specifically in the midwest,but I hope it will be soon! Again, thank you all for posting and writing. You are true friends!
