Ok .. read the reviews and comparison.. read the review in Keyboard Magazine. Ordered it (not available locally). Some nice features .. but the backgrounds still sound cheezy to me -- like what I always thought a Casio sounded like. Certainly NOT a professional arranger sound. When playing in full 'keyboard mode' for chords - it didn't follow very well ... which made the background parts sound like they were in a different key or something.

Was hard to adjust things on the fly -- tempo and accomp. vol ... where as on the Yamana psr you could use the keypad entry for quick adjustment.

All in all -- disappointed. Am sending it back for a refund and keeping my PSR.
