"A keyboard that makes you want keep playing."
I would replace it for sure. The only drawback I have encountered is how heavy it is.
Sound
The pianos terrific and I particuarily like the percussion organ sounds! And with the 'ultimate Keys' expansion board you can double and triple up sounds. Have only been using it in studio settings. What I like the most is it's keyboard action. It makes one want to keep playing!
Features
The multi-effects could be expanded and not simply be a twisting knob. But the ease of use and fast changes are the best.
Quality
I have played this now for a couple of hundred hours and the action is just beginning to break in. I play particuarily hard and so far so good.
Value
It is simply the best buy for me. No screwing around with the controls and simply play...
Manufacturer Support
have had no experience yet! Knock on wood...
The Wow Factor
The design and the action make me want to play all the time. Practice Practice practice.
