Don,
It's funny how boards are suited best for each individual. You and I are light years apart in our playing styles, so it's no wonder why we choose different.
I do also believe there are lemons. I think the SD-5 and the G-70 were lemons.
This 800 I have now is truly perfect in every way for me - no glitches, easy OS (easier than Yamaha) and sounds terrific in every way. I don't even enjoy the 900 anymore.
