I agree it was very good during it's run... and had a large audience. you cannot compare it to today's technology... I was offered one for free but declined. I see a lot of Ketron design in it (Italian made?) It's good to look back a bit,.....it's has a kool navigational design. Built like a tank if I remember too.

Oh, almost forgot, it was very expensive to boot. I purchased a Yamaha PSR-5700 from them instead, and was very happy with it for years, though it was very heavy as well, about 51 pounds if I recall correctly. The 5700 was an awesome keyboard with some incredible features.
