Mike,

I am an ex Kn5k player but have since changed KB's many times .....but when I played the Kn7k months ago when it came out I was dissapointed, due to the useless Mic/Vocalizer input, and the Sunken Designed keybed [to allow the control panel to sit flush when folded].. which hindered my playing due to the low and high C being set so low back into the body which doesn't allow any space for your fingers to stretch out above the body. Also I didn't like the tilt up control board in realtime being up instead of the conventional laying flat like most KB's making navagation difficult for fast changes. Another problem is switching between the Sd card, and live arranger Modes in realtime its not that smooth, all these things weren't my cup of tea for my style of playing.
It had a nice sound, some styles were just too busy for my taste....seemed like more of a Home use KB to me.

Theres nothing that excites me out now, but if I were you I would just hold back, save your money, and wait and see what turns up down the road for now.
