Well, I'm almost ready to make the plunge into the exciting world of the 7000! To those of you who have had the 6000/6500 and now have stepped up to the new 7000, can you tell me what items of the 6000/6500 have been taken away on the new keyboard and what new things have been added (I don't mean technical things, I mean sounds, patterns, etc.)? Some of my favorites on the 6500 are the Broadway rhythm, the jazz rhythms (jazz combo, jazz, quartet, jazz quintet, etc.), Romantic Swing. Am wondering if they have been replaced or modified. Also, is there a good calypso rhythm on the 7000? I have tried to synthesize the many comments here on the Forum about the new 7000 but I am becoming overwhelmed and thought I would simply ask this question to try to pull it all together. Thanks for all information you can share with me, even if it is redundant and has been mentioned here before. Also, thanks to all of you who provided me with information about where to purchase the instrument (i.e. dealers in the USA). I had a number of great responses and leads. You people here on the Forum are truly the greatest!!!

Hugs to you all!
