Bachus, if you want something that sounds worse than a budget Casio and constantly needs an update to correct an updates faults then go for the Mediastation, otherwise stick with a company that has a better reputation like Wersi if you want VST's on your instrument. The Ikarus is amazing, I've heard it and played it, I just thought it was too expensive for what I was willing to pay at the time, but it's still on my hit list for maybe later this year. Be very careful with Lionstracs, if it was that good an instrument the owners would be praising it on here, instead no one ever bothers to put anything about it. I wonder why........
