Because it ISN'T worth the price if it's not worth it to THEM. BTW, I haven't really heard anyone 'bash' it in this thread, only state their opinion of why they bought what they bought. I DO remember YOU doing a little GENOS-bashing in the early days BEFORE YOU BOUGHT ONE (after first trying everything else). I also remember you bashing anything with more than 61 keys or without internal speakers. So I guess we've had a change of heart about that too? Also, isn't it a little presumptuous to assume that people bash the Genos because they can't afford it. How would you know what they can and can not afford? And maybe some people are more responsible about their finances than others. One last thing; I didn't hear anyone in this thread say that 'mine is better than yours'; where did that come from? Might be a good idea to READ what's posted, ABSORB what you've read, and THINK before posting a response. Other than that......

Here in Aust. The korg is listed as $500 more expensive.
Probably be able to get a better discount on the korg than the sx, at the moment because yamaha is brand new on the market. But that will change.

Here in the Netherlands the Korg pa1000 cost 1799 euro and the Yamaha sx900 cost 2290 euro That’s 500 euro more. Now taking into account that the Pa1000 comes with a lot more features like semi weighted keys, aftertouch, synthesizer, sampler etc my choice will be the Korg.
