Good point. But it also a starting point for eternal module swapping. Which will be expensive...

That said, the money I paid for my rig would by a lot of modules. It just made more sense to me, since I want to play the stuff, not spend my time swapping and setting up. I spent a lot of time chasing samplers and stuff way back when, on a quest for the ultimate rig, I wish I had spent that time practising...

Plus after trying a few, I just liked the action of the Yamaha keys better than the others. It is not just a question of weighting them, you want the feeling that it hits something (the imagined "string".) Some keyboards just feels dead, even weighted ones.

Anyway, I feel that keyboard technology now has reached a stage where sound and feel is "good enough". While it may still improve, I won't feel the urge to upgrade every few months. So this is definitely a good time to buy.
