Donny,
I have yet to own any keyboard that does what my Tyros 4 does for MY audience. Keep in mind I have owned and gigged with a PSR3000, Tyros 3, Korg PA1X, Korg PA2XPro, Roland E60 and E80 and now my Tyros 4. I don't want to start a war here but none of the keyboards I have owned provide the quality of sound of my Tyros 4. I have not ventured into the world of style and sound creation so the tools offered in several keyboards were not of interest to me - only the availability of styles and some great sounds to go with them.

So, why did I buy the Roland BK-7M? Good question- but the simple answer is variety. I now gig daily and often twice a day and it is easy to get tired of the "same old sounds" day after day. I also like the complete "rhythm section" as used in Roland styles. It is not just the drums but the way Roland has put together the "section" - very real like and their bass lines are second to none.

I have no idea if I will keep the BK-7m but I am going to give it a real honest evaluation before I jump to conclusions. I really doubt if I will carry two keyboards on gigs - but then again one never knows until you give it a try. Who knows, I might just keep it to fool around with at the house.
