people will carry 50+lb quality speakers & Amps but worry about the Kb weight?.........
at this tme I just want to play one.

SOME people might carry heavy speakers and keyboards but not me. No need to with all the killer light-weight gear available.

See if that cart will put your speakers and keyboard up on the stands, and take them down again.

Nursing Home Entertainment/Exercise Hour rolled into one: Donny has the nursing home residents lift his Mackies (50 lb each x 2 = 100 lbs! ) up onto, and then off the stands.

Seriously though Donny, considering you say you do a lot of 'quick' doubles back to back with very little time in between, it's hard for me to imagine you not only continue to utilize your mackie 450's for these jobs as well, and on top of this, even considering adding a 50 lb keyboard (G70) to boot. Time is money afterall, especially with the small 1 hr jobs, so adding more weight & bulk means wasted time transporting & then setting up & breaking down equipment. I bring in the big guns (EV PA) for the larger jobs, but keep my kb rig super light (Tyros2 + Bose 161's) for the smaller quick (back to back) jobs, saving both my back and my sanity. Just my opinion.

Scott.......hard to imagine....???/ bahahahahahah

You pussies!!!!! ......be a man Scott!!!

The 450's are no problem to do NH gigs or small jobs for me at all....weight really dont bother me but the sound of the Bose 161 & T2 sub really did....I'm sorry to report that I cannot sacrifice MY KIND OF MUSIC performances with an in adequate 80 watt over priced PC speaker unit........
I tried it & moved it very quickly to a more appreciated home........
A Real man needs a Real Speaker to make Real Music!!!!

Donny buy some silver paint m8 and paint over the pictures, or better still get some pink paint and you could have a customised T2.
I think your roadies will abondon you if you get a heavy G70, come to think of it why buy old technology anyway?

Exactly who does the little pictures bother?
I continually have customers remark about the "space-age" look of my T2, and about how great it looks. No one has ever mentioned pictures.
Actually, if I were programming drum patterns, the pictures would be extremely helpful. They certainly don't bother me, and I think if that would keep someone from buying a keyboard then you have deeper problems than you know!
