Hi Aprilla,
I'm only a hobbyist too. I've had about 5 Technics keyboards over the last 10 to 15 years ( plus rolands, korg and a yamaha ) I keep going back to the kn's. It's not that it's because I'm used to kn's ( I've had just as many rolands) they probably just suit me better. To each his own (haahaa)
Anyway sometimes it's fun to try something new & different. The psr 3000 looks like it's still at least 7 to 8 months away so that gives you plenty of time to see how you enjoy the kn. Fate sometimes works out for the best.
There's a couple of other sites that may be of interest to you. The functions on the kn24/26 are very similar to the kn7.
They're Yahoo Groups. The KN7000 User Group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kn7000/ and I started a bit of a styles group a couple of weeks ago. Two of the ladies in the group have a new kn2400 and a kn2600
( hobbyists too from what I gather)
There could actually be more members with kn24/2600's . Just not sure. The guys in the group seem a bit shy about doing posts
(haahaa)

Rikki
