Yes Bob it is heavy, no arguments about that, but I heard they are launching a new version without speakers so it would be lighter for sure, but you have to keep in mind that the casing is made out of Sheet metal so that add to the wieght, but I have had Plastic casing Keyboards and after a couple of years they start to disintegrate, so I guess in my opinion always I prefer a bit of wieght and know that it will last longer...

Imagine, if it had a touch screen, like the trinity? Wow!!!

Being an ex Trinity owner and VA76, touch screens are gimmicks and to be honest, are sometimes far slower to operate rather than the good old fashioned way of button bashing.
Manufacturers should concentrate on ease of use, quality styles and sounds, good build quality etc and forget about gimmicks.
