OK - I love what I have (PA800), and I don't want anything that's out there right now (G-70/T4), and I can't speak about the new Korg till it actually appears so ..... I thought of one possible scenario to utilize my Nord as my main KB.
Bear with me ... it still assumes that the BK7m may be acceptable as a drum machine/split bass/arranger trigger in the future. (For now, I'll use a drum machine)
Nord Electro3-73 on bottom tier of Ultimate Support Apex stand
Velcro Acer netbook on LH side of Nord for Trax playback
Velcro TC Live Touch on RH side of Nord for vocals.
Use stand mounted mic boom on Apex, and until the Roland surfaces .... Alesis SR16 on small, top tier of Apex for quick access to a drum pattern that's needed on the fly.
Cons:
1)No real LH bass unless I bring a module, or sample one
2)I need to carry a powerful stereo monitor and a stand so I hear a good mix in my face. (Roland AC-60 will do - I have 1)
3)FIVE pieces to MAYBE do what ONE does now ... hmmmmmm
4)Takes up more space, and Apex is prone to tilt when bumped
Pros:
1)Those delicious Nord Rhodes, Clav, Wurli, & B3 sounds mmmm
2)Really lightweight pieces
3)Much less $$$output than a new arranger right now
4)...you tell me?!? Ideas?
Thanx ... guess I'll end my birthday now, and hit the pillows!

Dave, I have a Nord C-1 and an Electro-great units. Just yesterday, I pulled out a Midjay I bought a while back from Don. He sold me a 7 unit foot controller, but I have the 13 note one from the MS-60's/SD-5.
If I were to re-organize equipment, I'd use a Nord and the Midjay...teo pieces, foot controllers, that great Nord sound and Ketron arranger functions.
A guy here...an old show horn player..is looking at the Midjay. I could ship it to you to try out with the Nord, if you'd like when he returns it.
Just a thought for a portable two-piece set-up, with killer possibilities!
Russ

Thanx ... guess I'll end my birthday now, and hit the pillows! 2 & 3 Cons for "YOU" plus All the hookups, etc,.........is enough to NOT do it. But you knew that already
