I probably will in the end Andy. It has a fairly good action and the one I tried out had a quite useable piano and a very nice harpsichord. The free sample library is also a plus. A  good piano will cost at least $20,000 compared to $3700 for the Electro. ( Kiwi dollars )

Nah, get yourself the Electro Mark.
 I have the Electro 3 and am really happy with it. Lightweight, so simple to use. Great organs, acoustic pianos, Rhodes variants, trons, all very useable particular when driven through the on board eqs and amp/effects sims. And if that's not enough, you can download from the huge sample library for free from the Nord website.

Seems to work well but I don't really like computers. Some times I think I should just buy a really good piano.

I'm sure we have different needs for these instruments, but I couldn't do my job without Kontakt.  It's deep, but it's robust and well designed.  Anyone who owns the Chamber Winds, Angry Strings or Plucked piano for their tron is essentially playing a Kontakt patch :>)

Well I have been messing about with Kontakt 5 for few days and will be saving up for the Electro 4 or something similar.

I was trying out the Nord Electro 4 HP73 at the week end which I really liked. However it is really just a keyboard that plays back samples. I have a weighted action midi keyboard and a PC already and for a 10th of the price could use Kontakt 5. Has anybody on the list used both? Any thoughts?
