Interesting post, Scott. I heard a rumour some time ago from my dealer that a CD-RW would be included, but I agree with you that Bob Hendershot's suggestion of 128Mb removable flash memory is much better.
One point where I differ with you is where you say that you hope Technics eliminate the floppy. I use that as an easy medium for transferring styles I get from the internet into my KN6000. Since my PC is in a different room to my KN6000 this is really the only option. I certainly don't want to burn a CD each time!
Good to see you're still around, Scott. When you mentioned on the Arranger forum about getting the PSR2000 I wondered if you might be changing your allegiance. Talking of the PSR2000, another wish list item for the KN7000 is a much cheaper price.
