Yeah it doesn't look like a 550 upgrade. Seems more like a 350 with a mic input with a few other new features. I also noticed no pitchbend too..

Hi Guys,

It looks like another low-end keyboard with a lot more memory than some of the high end models. As for the pitch bend, I would venture a guess that it's controlled by the foot switch.

Yes it doesn look like a lower end model... I'd be sceptical about them allowing pitchbend with a footswitch. I saw the recording section and there was what looked like 5 tracks. However, the screen is really nice looking, and I like the colors they chose for it..
