It's very cool that even "if" they're similiar to the keys of the DGX series--this new model has "graded action" keys. That feature itself--even though on a non-weighted model--is usually found on more expensive units.
I'm blown away that this unit is 76 graded piano style keys and runs on AA batteries
Still don't like that Yammie charges you an extra bone or two just to plug the bloody thing in though... Oh well for $299 it's still a great deal, and you could find an adapter elsewhere to fit (and) probably for less than the Yamaha power supply...
Boy this summer my set up will be nice. It will consist of my current Roland RS-70, soon to be added Roland Fantom X6 (yeah baby!), either the PSR-S700 or the 900 (still have to decide on which one), and the money left over will be used to buy the Yamaha NP-30.
If this set up doesn't keep me busy for a while my wife will surely see to it that I "sleep with the fishes"....
