There is no size/weight argument, except from those who
have heavy boards and like them, who want to piss on everyone who likes lighter boards. In the 30 lb and under
category, TOTL is the Korg pa800, the Roland E60, the
Yamaha psr-3000 (until the new Yamaha s-900 out in 2
months The T2 isn't that much over 30 lbs, the Ketron
Sd1+ and sd5+ are in mid-30's. I think the E60 has a
pretty good feel, i suspect the Sd1+ does too, and both
are 76 keys. I never had a problem with my Korg is35 at 28 lbs, or my Technics kn2600 at 25 lbs. I don't know
how "solid" they have to be, i use an X-stand and they don't bounce around at all, and i can get a lot of different
shadings with no problem at all.

Diki , maybe your problem is that you really want a PIANO
not a synth keyboard. Maybe your technique is carried over from when you only played piano and you haven't
developed the kind of touch one needs on a synth keyboard. maybe you hit the keys TOO HARD,

Your arguments are specious re manufacturers: they are
all scrambling to make lighter equipment. lighter keys,
lighter amps, lighter speakers. It's not for the senior
market they do this. it's just the way technology advances.

you are a total sissy compared to the guys who lug their
hammond b3's around with their leslies. if you want to have a solid keyboard so much, as i said earlier, why not
take a nice digital piano in the 70-100 lb range? these days they have many arranger keyboard features, too.

and I don't like it when you distort what i say. I say I'm
willing to pay what is reasonable for a better OS and mic plug-in and multipedal jack. i'm not looking for all the features of the E80 on the E60, yet you keep calling me
a whiner who wants that. i don't care a hoot about most
of the features on the E80. I never stop hearing you whine
however about the lack of a chord sequencer.

if you don't mind the weight, good for you. others do, and
they are entitled to make their own tradeoffs without your
condescending attitude. They are also entitled to you not
constantly whining about others' critiques of equipment
and calling them whiners instead.
