I will share with you my experience and thoughts.
I have owned 6 Technics keyboards, buying them as they came out. the last two were KN7000 then the KN2600.
When Technics pulled the plug I read the writing on the wall and sold the last three Techics to a dealer.
I bought the Yamaha PSR9000 and didn't like the Operating system very much after years of technics. I next bought the tyros 2 and I enjoy it quite a bit.
then I bought the Roland E 80 and I concluded that this will likely be the board that many KN7000 technics owners will migrate to when their KN7 is repaired for the last time.
But...... be aware it weighs 50 pounds, primarily due to its great onboard sound system. It will do small room gigs by itself.
Price is aother factor as list is 4490.00 USD.
I have found the E 80 to have most everything I want but I am also considering buying or trading for a Korg PA2X Pro that is about the same weight and cost but with 76 keys and a MP3 recording system.
Best to all in this great Technics Forum.
