Anyone have the Casio WK-1800 Keyboard? Is it any good? I have a Yamaha PSR540 and saw the WK-1800 is similar with 5 main differences. Casio has more keys, more styles, less tracks on its sequencer, and less sounds, but sounds claim to be programable.

I tried out a Casio WK something before purchasing a PSR540 recently. The sound quality of the Casio voices did not impress at all and a Casio dealer commented that the Yamaha was better there, too. I'm a very happy PSR540 user except for all those new age type voices it has, does anyone ever use them? But the Casio looks the part.

Did you notice that the PSR540 looks like a toy compaired to the PSR640, and PSR740. I bet they did that on perpose so no semi-pro musician would even think to buy it. I don't think the PSR640 has twice as many features as the 540 to warrant the $400 in extra cost. I own the PSR540 also, and the same day I got it I was already recording midi songs. My next project is to create styles with it.
