Well... My wife and I have an 8 month, 3 week old son named Jack. 3 weeks ago, he was only rockin'... Now he's crawling, pulling himself up and getting quicker everyday. Baby steps in this house go very quickly!!

At 40 years old, what blows me away with a keyboard are weight, touch, useable sounds, and the functions I need to do what I do.

I lead worship at a church as one of my gigs... 52 rehearsals and 52 services a year. That's carrying a 42+ pound Motif ES7 in and out of the van 104 times a year... Plus a 23 pound son in the other hand!

A Roland BK-9 has "blown me away" being 20 pounds. Plus, having the performance mode to put my WAV and MP3 in performance order is what I need for the type of gigs my wife and I do.

If the Tyros 5 - 76 is 30ish pounds... With "must have" new sounds... And only $1000 more, I may wait... but it's going to be expensive!! The BK-9 looks like my new performance board... On 11/11/13, my choice will be clearer!
