Gary for most of us....the keyfeel effects the sound according to the way we play.. I think you guys just got use to the light touch (poor to me)...that you even think the s950 has a different keybed..it does not... Your 3000 is just broke in..
The problem with the psr light touch...most folks just play them..wide open..never hearing the dynamics of a lighter touch.
The semi weighted (more resistance), makes a big difference in dynamics, and it is velocity not after touch we are talking about..
It is very telling to take a MIDI file of your arranger playing, and put it into a computer sequencer and look at your velocity values. Most of them have a piano roll display, where you can look at a visual representation of how hard (fast, whatever) you are striking the notes.
Ultra lightweight keyboards, you'll generally be surprised at how high up your average values are. Seems a shame to have all that dynamics available to you, but that you barely use half of it...

An arranger is just a tool. What matters is what you build with it..!
I want to wish all you Newly acquired Roland BK-9 players good luck....Judging by my very impressive experiences with my BK-5 I'm sure it will be a great sounding arranger KB with some very kool features for musical creation for sure.
