When you get the itch, you have to scratch it 
Is there any other reason?

Likes: Sounds, styles, jukebox.
Dislikes: tends to freeze once and a while, WEIGHT, and I guess boredom. after owning 4 ketrons back to back, I think its time for a change.
I really like the sounds of the tyros which could be found also on the S900.

Hi mc,
do you also like psr styles? ( you only mentioned T2 sounds).
I find the psr & ketron styles quite different.
Personally I prefer the psr styles ( even though I only own a psr1500 currently). The sounds on my Ketron SD1+ are superior, but I'm not a great fan of the sd1 styles or it's style editing/creating functions.
Currently I'm tossing up between replacing the 1500 with a PSRs900 or adding a
Korg PA800.
Haven't had a chance to hear either yet.
best wishes
Rikki

the s900 is a nice board, but the keys are lousy better than the 3000 but they get sticky quickly

Just curious, Mikey, but do you own an S900?
Reason I ask, is that my S900 is played a lot and has not developed the problem you stated.
BTW neither has my 3 year old 3K.

No wonder the keys got "sticky"...it must have been the bubble-gum.

I want to go through the entire board one more time at my local music store. I did notice last time it didn't have a cumbia and a few other latin styles. I use a lot of latin styles in the music I play. does the t2 styles work on the s900?
I wish they made sd5 lighter, it tends to get very heavy, especially when your packing up. I can only wonder how heavy the Audya will be when it comes out.
