Great to hear that the XD9 will be available in the US soon, but how about in the Northern California (San Francsico/San Jose) metropolitan area? I'd like to audition the XD9 and SD1 'before' purchasing. Unfortunately, I can't find 'even one' dealer in Northern California willing to stock Ketron-Solton keyboards . . . they're only willing to take 'pre-paid' special orders - Scott
