I've been a XD9 owner (my very 1st AK) for ~ 6 weeks. I love all the sounds and features of this keyboard, but since I am primarily a piano player, I really want more than 5 octaves. For that reason, plus the audio tracks and weighted keys, I'm thinking of selling my XD9 and purchasing a used (18 months old) SD1.

My main concern is the incidence-of-repair/durability issue of the SD1, since there is no Ketron repair shop near Cleveland, Ohio! I've heard that the display panel loosens on some earlier models.

I would really appreciate feedback from those of you (Andrea?) who have had problems as well as those who haven't. Thanks!
