Donny, I don't know if you've played the KN7000 or not but the sounds on it are just amazing. Especially the Organ sounds and I'm a BIG fan of Organ sounds. I play them quite often in my musical arrangements. The other big thing over my PSR 2000 is the SD Memory Card storage capability. The SD Memory capacity is up to 1 Gigabyte size Cards now and pretty soon they will be "8" Gigabytes in size. Sampling capability is another big thing. Also the KN7000 has 128 note Polyphony which is double that of my PSR 2000. I've pretty much decided I will not buy another 64 note Arranger so unless Korg changes the specs of the Pa1X before mass production to bump up that pathetic 62 note Polyphony to at least 128 I will most likely pass on the Pa1X too. I've thought about getting the Motif ES 7 but I don't like the fact that it's not an Arranger and of course it doesn't have onboard speakers. Although if I got the Mo' 7, onboard speakers on it wouldn't be necessary because I would keep my PSR 2000 and use it when wanting to get ideas for songs, etc. So my options are very limited right now on an Arranger that has great onboard speakers, great sounds, at least 128 note Polyphony, and SD or SM mass storage capabitity. SD Memory is preferred over, let's say, Smart Media because of SM's smaller storage capacity spec., ie., 128Mb "Maximum". And I would prefer 76 Keys on my next Arranger but that's not a must have. If I could get all of those things in an Arranger I wouldn't have to spend extra dough on your typical Workstation to suppliment for use in my Band. I would be killing two birds with one stone if I could get everything I need 'musically' in "one" Arranger Keyboard. But the one thing the KN7000 lacked imo is a decent Vocal Harmonizer else you would be speaking to a proud KN7000 owner right now Donny.

Best regards,
Mike
