Casiobot,
I too would love to see some of these changes like they had on the MZ-2000. You have to keep in mind though that the MZ-2000 was a VERY expensive keyboard in the Casio line up.

People weren't use to seeing a Casio that cost over $1,000. They were know for that affordable keyboard.

If Casio added 16 tracks, 40, notes, style recording, (pattern chaining--which I don't know of any arranger having this feature because you find it on synths), and more poly, Casio would have to without a doubt jack the price (considerably).

They added the new features to the current models (even though not huge), and didn't jack prices. I think that alone is a statement for them.

Maybe they could make more of a step up between model. Example say release a WK-3300 that has some slight improvements over the 3200, and release a 3800 that has HUGE changes, such as 16 tracks, ect. However I don't see them doing this. If you add a 16 track 40,000 note sequencer, style recording with pattern chaining, 64 note poly, you almost have the MZ-2000 (minus the full draw bars and voice editing).
