Message: [QUOTE="Tomas, post: 159936, member: 3917"] [b]Is the WK7500 a big improvemet over the lower ones (ie 6500)?[/b] OK, I am actually thinking about going another direction and possibly opting for either the WK6500 or WK7500 for several reasons. I have started to consider the 7500 not so much because of the added features i.e. the drawbars etc, but because in reading more about it, it appears to be a whole new platform, not just added features to the earlier WK versions. The polyphany is increased from 48 to 64, plus the keypad uses a tri-sensor instead of a dual AHL version, and I heard comments that it makes possible more subtle control of the key sounds especially with "expressiveness" in pure piano work - an item which is strongly discussed regarding the advantages of a real piano touch compared to any digital ones. My question is, has anyone really tried that aspect (on a 7500) and is it really that much better to tell the difference? If you have one, are there other big reasons that the 7500 is that much better than the 6500 and lower models to make the extra cost worth the investment? In searching more on the net, it looks like I can get the 7500 for around $400us with shipping, and the 6500 is running around $270us as a comparison. I don't want to spend the extra money if it is not a significant improvement but I also am aware that if the 7500 is a breakthrough model, it will also be worth more on resale or trade further into the future, so that is also a consideration.
