Well Chas, I see this post is doing great...

Chas , when I do use the MediaStation on a gig...the people comment on the looks..."all the lights and controls"...in a positive way....It looks expensive to them, and they seem to agree it sounds great too...

The performers I have been associated with over say the last 25 years...have always liked "lots of lights" on stage..Maybe rack mount gear, amps, and especially keyboards...I don't ever look at it as a negative...

It seems to impress folks and not the other way around....

Another plus for instruments like the MS or Groove models...you can navigate in pitch dark..

I like the look of my former E80 on stage as well as my current G70 and MS....The Prelude....just looks bland on stage..

Good thing ..I look good on stage too..
