Bebop, I'm still in LA (Louisiana, that is).
You can come to our Arranger Jam in January though!
Maybe I'll but the KN5000 myself. I played one for a couple of years when they were current.
I previously had KN800, 1000 and 2000. The 2000 was WAY ahead of its time.
When Yamaha came out with a microphone input and harmonizer on the PSR8000, I jumped ship.
It was way ahead of its time also.
I think both the PSR8000 and the KN2000 are true classic arrangers. Not that much is better on the new ones, just bells and whistles and faster, larger storage options.
