It better be real........otherwise i dumped a ton of pennies for nothing yesterday buying one!!
Good for you! 6 years seems like a proper time for an upgrade.
But will it make you play better? or would it be cheaper to learn new playing techniques, to make you an even better player than you are now.

Styles tend to sound more pleasant with each new model, there are new voices of a better quality in new models, why should one reject it when he has a chance to get it?
Personally I wouldn't judge an arranger player for not becoming a classically trained pianist, or a jazz pianist, or a band keyboardist. But this sort of recommendation I see here - not to focus on the arranger part and focus on the piano part. Well, we can do that, but this is an arranger forum after all.
I would agree that for someone who has Genos or a similar keyboard and hardly plays it that buying a new one wouldn't fix his problem, but for someone who actually enjoyed it for years, well, personally I would respect any choice regarding further purchases.
