Ok, but if people would be willing to do this, I would be more than happy to host the files on my website.

If you're looking for all the features geared toward an OMB performer, plus IMO the best sounding strings, guitars, horns and pianos in the industry, the PSR-3000 or Tyros is the only way to go.

Some folks don't like the key feel, however, the vast majority of the professional performers, individuals who play several times weekly, enjoy the lighter action of the PSR series of keyboards and wouldn't trade them for anything else. I now have an agressive form of arthritus, one that makes playing and typing somewhat painful at times. Those lighter keys, to me, are the best thing since sliced bread.

As for the operating system, I sincerely believe the PSR OS is among the easiest to work with, especially when you wish to make changes on the fly during a live performance. Lots of great options, but as others have said, let your ears be the judge.

Good Luck on your decission,

Gary

Just suggesting as you are a piano-player,
take a nice stage-piano and connect it with a module like the wonderful Ketron Midjay (or Gem Genesys XP as stated before already).
If you have the bucks a Yamaha P250 would be nice because you can put the expander direct on top of it...

Opinions and advice needed!

unless you are looking for 76 keys,It's hard for me to believe that people do think exr sounds better than pa -50.

except for (ac piano)other sounds ,drums, seq ,deeper sound editiong ,there is nothing you can buy for 1000$ except pa-50.

tip- check the program mode and play and listen sound patches individually.don't judge by style mode.there is alot of editing you can do and most sounds are way above than psr 1500,exrs ,and so on.
do it and you'll thank me.

you get less keys than exr 7 (and less better key action for some ) but you get -user style writing,4 variations,real sequencer and so on.
