Larry: OMG! I'm really SORRY to hear this, but not that surprised either (especially after hearing about UD's recent similar experience). I'm beginning to feel like I'm treading in dangerous waters now. Thankfully, I have a friend who also owns a PSR2000 (home use only) and agreed to lend it to me (on a moments notice) if mine breaks down, but my BIGGEST fear is if the KB breaks down suddenly 'on an important gig! I'm now trying to figure out what to do now. So far, the upcoming Ketron XD9 (arriving in the US in June?) sounds like a strong consideration now. Does anyone here have any updated news regarding the XD9's release? Where can I get more details on the XD9's features compared to the SD1?

Squeek, please tell me what arranger type professional synth I could get that is cheaper than the PSR2000 ($1,000 street price). Thanks.
