By the way, if you're wondering (as I would) how I ended up with a bunch of keyboards I didn't like, here's "the rest of the story."
 
A few years back, my (now ex) wife did something incredibly stupid and caused a smoky fire that ruined my entire studio.  Fortunately, I had full replacement insurance, but the insurance company had a strict policy of replacing the equipment on a one-for-one "most similar replacement" basis. 
 
I had a Kurzweil K-1000 which was replaced by the Emu MPS
I had an Ensoniq ESQ-1 which was replaced by the Ensoniq SQ-1
I had a Kawai K-1m which was replaced by the K-1 II
I had a Kawai K-5 module which was replaced by the TG-33.
 
I had no choice but to accept all of the items, and some stuff was great, and some stuff I didn't ever grow to like.  This is the stuff that I never did like, so never really used other than to fool around with long enough to just find out that I really didn't like them, or in the case of the K-1 II, I didn't need another keyboard instrument and would have much preferred another rack mount like the original K-1m.
