I think Roland's decision to make a less than stellar keybed on their keyboards under $1,500...is a compromise that many Roland users may be turned off...I know for sure..these light 61 keybeds don't make me content...bear in mind Roland does this because the competition use inferior beds too,,,and yes the cheaper Roland keybeds are still better than the competition...but not by much..

The other turn off..was placing the top models in "home piano stores"..where you know you are most likely to get ripped off...as in paying too much....

This year ..Roland has turned it around a little ..The feature packed Juno Stage as an example has a semi weighted keybed..Roland knows this model will get into the hands of gigging musicians...
