As to keyboard length - I am thinking to trigger the VA via my 88 key FP3 anyway - (regular piano action) - so room shouldn't be a problem. I'll just have to get used to reaching down aways with my left hand to play chords. Unlike the Ketro/Solton stuff - I don't think you can program the FC7 pedals to toggle between registrations or midi files to change split point or modes - but the VA76 at least has a couple of programmable pads that the VA7 didn't have.
