They don't still manufacture the PSR-8000,do they? Companies still sell them new I know. Are those just left over that they didn't sell? Or are they factory rebuilt? What in the going price of a new 8000? And what is the street price? Do you believe it would a better buy than a new midrange board? Maybe the new PSR-2000 or last years 740? Please help me out all you forum buddies. Going to make a change before long. Thanks for reading, Nobby nobby10@nemonet.com ------------------

Nobby, I'm playing the 8000 (again) now. I also owned the 740 and the 9000. I wouldn't get the 8000 if I were you because the newer boards have a lot of extra operating features, such as 4 variations, extra intros, ending, fills, etc. If you plan to use the onboard vocal processing and harmonizer, I would avoid the 740 because it is a little weak in that department. The 9000 is excellent, and prices are going down since it has been around a couple of years now. If you plan to play it at home it would be a great choice. It's pretty heavy to haul around a lot, and still more expensive than the 2000 will be. Seems as if the 2000 would be the answer. It's supposed to have direct from disk play of midis, and a lot more onboard room for songs and styles, so unless you really need a hard drive with LOTS of storage it would seem to be the logical choice. Personally, my plan is to get one and also have a laptop for storage, midi play and lyrics. Both the 2000 and a used laptop would still cost less than a 9000. I know you don't change keyboards as often as I do, but it will be nice for me to not have to worry about reloading the keyboard hard drive with all the songs. The laptop will work with any keyboard. (Even your 510). DonM P.S. Does anybody have a used laptop they would like to trade for something, or sell really cheap?

Don, Check out Ebay. I use a CTX EzBook 700 series. It has a built in Midi interface[ the only model that I am aware of that has this]. I have been using it for 3 years and you can't beat it. I won a bid for one 2 weeks ago for $300[gave it to my brother], and I just won a bid for another just like the one I bought new, Pent2,200mmx, 72 ram, for $285, this one is going to my daughter Candace..Fran
