Hi, the 9000 is old news, it has the aged technology if you compare it to the 3000 even for a "smaller" model, it sound better, has the Megavoices,an overall improved sounds, user interface, USB & smart media that in a way, makes obsolete the need of a hard drive (optional on the 9000).....so...the 3000 is better that way.
Construction wise,
9000 metal
3000 plastic
I would still go for the NEW PSR 3000 board.
