Hi SkyBooks2, The Kn6500 is far beyond the Kn5000 in features and on board sound. The Kn7000 has taken features and sound to even a highe level. When I used my Kn5000 I had to use some sort of outside amplification. The Kn7000 can full a room of 30 to 40 people withoput addtional amplification, it has a far superior sound system. The SD card has to be the best upgrade Technics put in the keyboard. One SD card takes the place of all the floppy disk that I was using. And --- it is so much faster in loading and saving time.

SkyBrook 2, E-mail me, I have a friend with both keyboards a Kn6500 and a KN7000, I know he wants to sell one of them. His keyboards have never left the house, he?s a sax player.
My suggestion would be the KN7000, it is a winner.

Life is good, John C.
