I'm a lot busier these days but still have time to post on good ol' SZ once in a while Tony.
I've noticed the 'attendance' is way down also.
Not many people posting these days unfortunaetly. I think one reason is like you said there is nothing new on the market that is causing a stir since the T2. The Roland E-80 really hasn't impressed folks that much and it weighs a ton; besides also the fact that it is astronomically priced.
The E-60 may be a winner though. 76 keys is a good start.
The sounds are derived from the Fantom X series from what I understand but I wouldn't expect them to be as good as what's on the E-80 since the E-80 is the new Flagship and the E-60 is mid range. And again, the E-80 seems lacking in the sound department from a lot of the demos I've heard, so what will that entail for the E-60?
The E-60 will be lighter in weight though which is a plus.
Another reason I think the count is down is because of all the bickering going on here over the last several months. Plus the silliness and frivolity on some of the posts which would embarrass a hardened Marine drill instructor.
So we probably lost many members on those things alone. When people feel they aren't getting what they came here for i.e. keyboard advice, a friendly atmosphere that is appealing to everyone, info on the latest/greatest in Arranger and other keyboard related technology, and the opportunity to share songs and/or files with other members in a non-hostile constructive environment then they simply leave for greener pastures sorry to say Tony.
PS: Since Nigel has cracked down on people posting personal attacks, some members might have possibly left because they can't handle civility I dunno know??
I'm sticking around through thick or thin with the hope that things will turn around for the better. I hope others feel the same way and will continue to contribute to the forum in a positive way. Even though we may quibble about some things we still need to respect each other and try to get along as best as we can.
Best regards,
Mike
