Linda,
I also love the YPG625 as well and sell alot of these at my store but I just wanted you and others to know that both the Privia PX110 and PX310 are also arrangers. They both have auto accompanament with Drums, Bass and chord tracks. The 110 only has limited sounds but the 310 has all the styles and sounds of the WK3800. These models are also much lighter than the Yamaha (26.9lbs) and they also have 88 weighted hammer keys. Although the Yamaha has more dedicated buttons to use for the arranger, the Casio can do all the same features as well.

Thanks Stephenm52. I also, would still have my PSR2000 if it were at the very least 76 keys. Not sure why Yamaha does not give those features in the higher end either.

George,

I did look at the PX-310 but it only had 202 voices and 120 accom and the Yamaha has 500 voices and 160 accom. I did toy with the idea of getting the Casio as it is much lighter and more portable. It will be used in my home only and will never leave my home, so the weight and size became a non-issue.

Both models of the Casio PX have excellent hammer action. I saw no difference between the Casio or Yamaha in that area. I still own my Casio WK-3700 (have not sold it yet) so am able to compare sound etc.

If the Wk-8000 had weighted keys I would have purchased that one in a heartbeat. I for some reason had my heart set on buying a board that had 88 weighted piano keys? So far, I am happy with my purchase.

Thanks George, as always I read HERE first before I buy and the info is always spot on thanks to you and others who take the time to respond.

-Linda
