Not a problem for the vast majority of us Scott. There are some folks that resorted to using a pair of L1 Compacts, but most of us continue to use a single unit for ALL of our work, including outdoor jobs. I've used a pair of L1 compacts and the sound is somewhat fuller, but as UD stated, with a bit of tuning they're nearly identical. I sincerely believe the audience(s) would not know the difference between a single L1 Compact and a pair, especially when well tuned. And, as you know I've never been happy with Yamaha's stock piano--that's why I created my own piano voices using the keyboard's onboard Sound Creator program and modified a GM grand piano voice.

Tony, Dave always stands while performing, has an outstanding voice and really interacts well with his audiences. He's constantly scanning the audience (probably looking for a cute redhead) while performing, but keep in mind he's a relatively young guy and can still stand for four hours with no ill effects. At our age(s) standing during a performance is out of the question. wink I compensate for this by using a Quick-Lock stool that has a foot-rest and back-rest that puts me at near-standing height while comfortably playing.

Cheers,

Gary cool
