Ah, this young lady, she demonstrates Roland V accordions, also.

I think Casio "forced" all these big boys to come out with lower priced boards. They are learning from Casio not only to lower prices but also reduece the weight. The FP-30 being 30 pounds seems like a nice, affordable 88 board, but alas! It does not have a line out like the handsome Korg Havian 30. That is a deal breaker for me. Even if Roland comes out with something like this, I'd look into even a lower priced Casio or higher priced Casio with better quality and more features.

Its fun, to see Casio slowly raising their pricess at the same time, guess they will meet somewhere in the middle...

I think I read somewhere that it doesn't have 5-pole midi out either. Absolute deal breaker for me!
