Hi Kelly,
I am a happy owner of an iS40 for almost 2 years. Pros are excellent sounds, especially piano, EP and pads. There are great sound tweaking options, almost like a dedicated synth, touch and after touch, and powerfull sequencer and edit tools.
Cons are limited polyphony (32, barely enough for elaborate arrangements), lack of modern styles (not compatible with PA-80 range), and organ and brass sounds are not very good.
all in all, it is a great instrument for first steps in arrangement, sequencing and live performances in Jazz and 70-80 dance gigs.

Murphy's, huh? I may know where that is. While searching eBay, I found a Roland VA-3 - looked interesting, so I did some research and stumbled onto some new prospects. Thanks to www.rolandkeyboardclub.com, I saw some info and demos of the VA-3,5 and 7 and am VERY impressed. I don't know what resale or auction prices are like, (the VA-3 listed is < $80, but with five days to go) I know they're about 6-7 years old now and I don't remember ever seeing one for sale before. Also found some very favorable comments from older posts on SZ. VA users, speak up, please! Thanks, ------------------ Kelly J
