chas, Tony was just kidding you. I guess you just must have been having a bad day and didn't realize that. Not everyone is out to get you.

Same boat here.

I'm still thinking about the PA4X. I know it's a superior instrument.

BUT

The S970 is a great machine. I've been putting in hours reprogramming it and it does a nice job...not as good as my Tyros but good. And I'm also finding lots of stuff I didn't know the S970 can do.

If I TRY to sell my S970 around here I'll be lucky to get 60% of what I paid for it just a few months back. And I think of time wasted reprogramming.

Then there's the issue of learning the PA4X OS, and reprogramming my show...lots of hours.

I could buy the PA4X without selling anything...but what am I going to do with 4 keyboards? Arrangers, the way I use them, aren't like a guitar that you just pick up and play.

Donny, your not the only one that goes through changeitis.

One other thing I should mention:

I've bought two new keyboards in the past number of months, the S970 and a DGX 650 I just had to have.

Also stopping me (from ordering the 4X) is the look I know I'm going to get from my wife; who is actually a real keyboard player.

I haven't quite sold her yet on the concept that I'm part of an Arranger A Month club.

Donny, happy yes, but not content.; at least not until it’s all over.
It is frustrating not to be able to see and play the new models – so here’s to the Synthzone, it’s loaded with information.

Almost my buying and selling has been done right here on Synthzone; and I have never been hurt

“Took me 3 to find that out for sure.. just sayin”

OK, Donny, my story:

1-In my first marriage my guitar was my escape. Because of my dedication; hours on hours, I became a professional guitar player.

2-The second marriage found me falling in love with arranger keyboards. Because of my dedication; hours on hours, I became a professional OMB keyboard player.

3-In my third marriage I learn how to pray! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Trying to be humble, John C.
