This is actually a Medeli A1000 or a so called poor man's Yamaha. I have had the A800 in the past. Nice arranger for the money.

Just done a quick conversion and the UK price will be around £340 so you can’t expect too much for that price. (Plus how many keyboards have a 7” Colour Touch Screen at anywhere near that price)

Manufactures will need to look out though, as the Chinese are at about the same level as the Japanese in the 60s & 70s, but a decade or so later they had the market virtually sown up, with most of the established manufactures falling by the wayside.

Let's be real. A $500 arranger isn't going to get much love here... Especially this one! I'd rather listen to a BK-3...

BK 3 and KMA sounds better.

But Fame does it with a touch screen. BK 9 makers !( take note!).

And it seems that screen is really high(er) resolution - it does look very nice! Sounds are exactly what they should be in this price range. But that screen, man!...

Not really. Medeli use Yamaha software and sounds not their own.
