How about US $ 250-300 for a G 800
(that is when you don't need the harmonizer)

I consider that a very best buy for the buck

Fran, I see you're using a Zune mp3 player. I'm in the market for an mp3 player to use ocassionally for mp3 backing. Any particular reason you picked to Zune over others? How is it with playlists, quick song selections, screen visibility, etc?

Glenn, the same reason most musicians are going from ipod to Zune..Totally up-datable OS..and a better future..

I Love My ZUNE also !!!

Glenn go for the Zune..bigger screen, faster play time..you can cue the next song, and has quick list for making up sets..Future..WiFi, can send to other Zunes via wirelss..Plays all files..and Microsoft software is complete...I have had auto updates twice in 3 months...Look at it as open ended, unlike generation upgrades with ipod...

Freddy that is bang for the bucks..At $400 for my E-600..that is bang for the bucks...BIG TIME..

Thanks, Fran. The larger screen and WiFi sounds like big pluses. I had been looking at the CL Vision M, but think I'll go with the Zune.

Once Fran showed me the ZUNE I quickly dumped my Ipod video & bought one .....
I love it........it just dos everything a bit better especially navagation for musicians who want to use it on stage.

theres one thing your allllll missing here...

the features are GREAT.. but....

the sound samples are no where near the quality of a yamaha / technics arranger from the last five years.

that is in my opinion what matters most to alot of musicians...

Fran,

The E-600 was quite a keyboard in its day...lots of great features although a bit pricey when new.

A client of mine just sold an E-600 in terrific condition for $500 Cdn so he could buy a PSR-3000...seems he wanted a better piano sound plus the convenience of USB to Device(no floppies).

The E-600 seems to be a terrific alternative to the heavier(groan) G70 for those quickie gigs.

Congratulations on your purchase.
