George -
Oh, OK. I didn't know the E60 keys are different/better than the E50. One day I might revisit the E60 or E80 (the E50 really was a lot of fun and sounded great). But for now, thanks for the 3000 - it's everything I need at this time.
By the way, I do like the Stagepas 300 too. It has lots of punch and I like keeping the mixer inside the cabinet - very portable.
Best regards,
zuki
