I got a look and listen at/to an E-600 today, and I like what I have seen and heard. The touch screen is intuitive and far easier as a controller than the G series. 500 sounds are included, and are impressive (I have an E-96 for comparison). Also the 16 track sequencer is very attractive. Styles are good (what I heard). Cost lists at just under $4000, but could be had likely for closer to $3000. The floppy drive somehow manages to load data instantaneously, so that styles and performances are immediately accessible. Looks like a fine keyboard!
