I gigged with the PSR-2000 for around four years and enjoyed it throughly, as did my audiences. I had no real complaints with it in fact. A few months ago I sold it and replaced it with the 3000. What can I say - it was worth shelling out the $700 to upgrade. The 2000 sounded "great", but the 3000 sounds "real"! It's hard to say if my listeners can appreciate the difference, but I certainly do! The sounds and styles are simply significantly superior over the 2000. For those of you who have the 2000 and mulling over whether to move up to the 3000 - GO FOR IT!
