Audrey,
You hit on something that I am now learning. What I have learned cannot be learned until you have a second keyboard to compare.

Most of the comparisons I have heard have been dealing with instrument sounds, ease of use (OS) and clarity. I feel that the answer does not lie in facts and opinions.
The designers of the Kn7000 produced an instrument which fits the needs and desires of a keyboardist. They have emotionally reached the player so that he is satisfied/contented. The new innovations and Mega sounds on the new keyboards pull us away for a period and end in slight dissatisfaction. They like the new keyboards and if they allow the new innovations to dominate they leave. I have taken that trip many times and I have replaced the Kn7000 three times.

Although I recently I placed the Kn7000 for sale my new understanding will make my Kn7000 a keeper. If I may, I’ll borrow a few words that apply from the Bible: “Till death do us part”. (Smile)

Wow, I really took myself on an emotional journey, it must be my age.

Cheers (That has an English touch) (Grin), John C.
