There are at least two K2000 owners on this very list, me and Barry.
I do consider mine an boat anchor. :-)

It's a boat anchor if Korg asks customers to pay 8000euro then do
a lot of promises of free updates deliver none, then severly cripple
the secondhand market by releasing an updated Oasys renamed Kronos
for 3000 euro.
 
Rolls Royce effekt. :-)

Indeed, only pay for what comes in the cardboard box.
