I finally got a chance to look at both the new keyboards, but with a KN7000 sitting next to them, I wasn't that excited. I didn't get a chance to play each onboard style, but some seemed different from my KN6K. However, an attempt to save out an onboard rhythm and load it into a KN6500 wouldn't work, but we'll see. They are nice looking, but still mid-range units, and I suppose the price will reflect just how much they will do. A few more days playing with them should satisfy my curiosity.
