From your description of the problems you say you had with your Mediastation, I would say it was a faulty hardware component, and it can happen to any keyboard.
When the Wersi OAS instruments were launched in 2000 (OAS 2) there were a few software glitches, with update CDs being sent out to solve the problem, but with OAS 6 and now OAS 7, providing you don’t start messing with the Windows software it is as stable as any Yamaha, Roland, Korg etc.
There is also a dealer and an agent in this country, as well as engineers that know the instruments, and if you are not sure how some thing works you could just post on the Wersi Oas forum, and one of the members would be able to help.
Anyway I hope you get full reimbursement for your problems, but don’t rule out all Software based instruments just because you have had a problem with one.
Interestingly if the predictions hold true, (And I cant see anything that will stop it) then in 5 years or so, all instruments from all manufactures will be software based.
Whichever instrument you have though, just remember the music comes first.
