What should I buy? A used 2000 or a new 1500?

I'm leaning towards the the PSR1500, but I have to put it in lay-away...

Thanks

Sorry guys for being a pain in the rear end , but I found an PSR1100 for $650.00 @ music123.com and I can probably get it down to $600.00 or $575.00....Can I load new styles into the 1100?

Thanks

psr 1100 is 599 $ at musicians friend.

Thanks!

I have a salesperson @ music123, I can probabyl getting down to $550.00, or even $500.00 since is a discontinued item, I have an account with MF, but they never want to deal.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll call MF anyway and see if they want to deal.

You should be able to get a used PSR2000 for the same kind of money, which is what I would do. More goodies on it. The 1100 is basically the PSR1000. Which almost narrows this question down to do I want a PSR1000/1100 or would I prefer to have a used PSR2000 in like new shape for the same money? Answer this question honestly and you'll make the right move for YOU!

OK, if you like the USB, then add about another $200 to the figure and find a nice used PSR2100. Another option.

Thanks..

If you're thinking that USB connection on the 2100 is for storage--it's not. It just parallels the midi cable. Stick with the 1500, or better yet, save your pennies and buy a 3000.

Cheers,

Thanks Gary, I need an arranger A.S.A.P I'm settleing for the PSR1500, I still have to sell a few more things, I want the 3000 but @ this time I can't afford it, I can get the PSR1500 for $800.00 @ GC.

Thanks guys!

Just FYI.

It says you can store files on your computer's Hard Drive.
"Computer Connectivity – Why it's important
The PSR-1100 has a USB port on the back, making it extremely easy to connect the keyboard to a computer. Once you're connected, you open up your music to a wealth of possibilities. From your computer, you are able to copy data to and from the User or Floppy drive in the instrument to your computer's hard drive using the included File Utility software. It's convenient, fast and easy. And MIDI has never been so simple. Just install the included drivers and when you open your favorite music software program the PSR-1100 shows up as USB output ports One and Two – giving you 32 channels of MIDI playback."

Or What are you talking about......Just curious.

Thanks

1100 has half of 2100 's mem (750kb-I think)
so USB data doesnt really matter(useless).(unlike HD-eg-tyros).so loading from 1.44 mb FDisk is much easier.

1500,3k(though they have again twice mem than 1100,2100)the have "usb to device port"(where you can use thumb drives-(new features available on pro gear like motif es and triton xtreme)(which previous yam arranger model don't have).think about it.it's like having portable HD without the computer.so thousands of songs and styles at the touch of a button with no loading.(plus the 128 mb smart media card input)it's hard to beat.

so 1500 or 3k-you won't need to update for at least 3 yrs,I guess.
