I decided to avoid these old keyboards, primarily because if they develop a problem, getting them repaired could be a real hassle. I've got my sights now on a Roland VR – 09 or a Hammond XK1c, or maybe the Sk1. BTW, did anybody notice that a couple of Internet retailers just dropped their price on the VR – 09 to 799? I'm wondering if Roland is going to come out with an updated version in the next 12 months or so .
