Bill,

Perhaps the wisest thing would have been to wait for the KN8000 or, at least, the 7500 to come out, since the KN7 has been out for quite sometime. It won't be much longer before many will be raving about the "latest model" and you will be stuck with 'last year's model' all over again. It does make one wonder if indeed we need all this technology. If playing becomes just pushing a few buttons, are we musicians or merely, technicians? Great things have come about for many a year by the old adage, "Less is more."

I know that I am guilty of trying to keep a tradition alive that has been dead for years.
