CHIRPY......Having ownned/played 5 Technics KN's...the 1K, 3K, 5K, & I still have both the 6K & 7K... They have all been wonderful to play.....My 6K has the additional hard drive that allows for more storage of data than I will ever need. The sound is great. I play it every Saturday for a wonderful group of people at a local Nursing Home....

The 7K is AWESOME! I would love to have another one as a back-up & to play for the NH....The sound is improved, the new organ rhythms are wonderful, the SD card is a great & convenient addition. Having the ability to connect your computer to your 7K via the USB port allows for lots of terrific options for greater enjoyment....

I don't know about you but I am sure worth the expense of having one even on my fixed income!

Suggest you play one for awhile & determine for yourself if you & the 7K are worth the expense! This is a very personal decision IMO....
