Message: [QUOTE="Tomas, post: 159980, member: 3917"] Y_Man (and others) in keeping with my last minute shopping habits - I bought the WK7500 on Saturday -(yea the day before Christmas!) It was on sale at GC for $400 plus tax which is about the same as mail order minus tax. Again the motivation was not really at all about the huge amount of features. I actually started this search after seeing a CDP220 on sale at the local Costco (full piano feel and weight but a lot less music manipulation and production features). But after trying a lot more units in person at various stores, I came to the conclusion that the lighter weight keys on some of the better workstations or other advanced machines were actually preferable to me especially if I want to expand beyond true piano work. I just felt more comfortable with the action. It is a LOT different than the older "organ" type keys that were out for years. I was also considering something like the Yamaha YGP235, which has a good sound and nice keyboard, and actually felt more solid to the touch than the WK7500 but the other capabilities of the latter overcame that difference. The interesting thing is, when I got my unit home and tried it out, they keys were quite a bit "tighter" than the same unit in the store, so either they lossen up with use, or they may have changed the design slightly with the one I got - which I like better. I also can't tell the difference in the "sound" per say of the unit with the same voice used (Stereo Grand Piano was mostly my test), but I do think there is some difference in the expressiveness available in playing with the variance in the volume of hitting the keys in the range from soft to harder. The graduation seems broader and that is what I think I had read about between the Tri-sensor and Dual Sensor AHL. I had also read that the 7500 shares some of the Privia sound engine but I have not compared them enough to tell if that is true. I do know that the speakers and amp are quite a bit better than the 6500, so I think together it is worth the cost difference for now. Time will tell more as I delve into it more. [/QUOTE]
