As far as convincing our partners to let us buy the kn7000, it is a lot of money. Women who do not play the keyboard go by looks and not features and sound. Therefore they are more apt to say that about any board. You wanna pay how much for that? I think looking futuristic is more apt to convince our partner to let us buy it. Better than it looking plain and like it ain't much more than a simple board. i remember an old girlfriend of mine saying the same thing about a guitar I wanted. It was a taylor acoustic and cost 1800.00. No matter what it looked like. She would have said that cuz the money was too great. I think that the bigger issue is that it cost too much.if it were 2k maybe it would not get that comment. But women expect it to have diamond inlaid for the price the 7000 sells for. They do not except the fact that instruments cost so much. It is a bit hard for me to except it and I have been playing guitar for 25 years. But I have excepted it/ Now I play the keys also and had to except the fact that if i wanted a real good one, it would cost even more than a great guitar. Ouch!!!!
I also want to agree with Technics player about the sample quality. I can remember when I had 8 poly and the sounds were made up of 4 crappy sounds. Now it takes one or two sounds to make up one sound because it is a good sample. Again though,,, technics is too expensive.
