Hi,
by the sounds of things , you are lucky to actually have access to try all 3 keyboards before you buy.

There's been posts from members who don't have the luxury of even being able to see one of them, let alone all 3 brands.

Wise move not to buy on the spur of the moment. Check them out and make sure they have the features you're looking for.

As for Technics
There are some good reasons for going for a kn with sd card functions.

Faster loading & saving of styles.
No disk swapping ( KN2600 doesn't have a floppy drive)
With optional Panasonic SD Audio Writing Kit( sd card reader & jukebox softeware) , you can play audio files on your kn.

If time spent loading styles from floppy into a kn2400 isn't a problem, then, you could save money, as I gather it's a fair bit cheaper than the kn2600.

best wishes
Rikki

So I gave myself a break, and an opportunity to discuss these impressions with you guys.
I will go back on Thursday to make the final decision. Also, I will go back to try again the KN2600 and KN2400 (good alternative if one doesn't need SD slot)
