When I tried the PSR1500 and PSR3000, the sustain was fine and I didn't have to turn the sustain on. Looks like Yamaha fixed this so it is fine, right out of the box. The pianos on both were excellent. They are both very nice keyboards. Arrr! I want one.
Steve, Thanks for answering my query anyway, I had your notes in my pocket, just in case I needed it.

So, Starkeeper: you gonna give us your impressions of the PSR1500/3000 versus the EXR-7? (probably should start a new thread for that!)

Bill,
This is my quick evaluation of those 3 keyboards. http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/Forum37/HTML/008936.html.
I was so put off by the harshness of the EXR-7 that I did not give it a full test. It is apparently the amplifier/speakers, not the sound engine that is the problem. So I will have to demo it again with headphones. This is extemely poor quality control on Roland's part. How could they do such a stupid thing? This means that it is inferior, right out of the box. This will also reduce its' resale value.
