My point exactly... Why purchase this limited keyboard for 1790 euros (close
to $2100 USD) when you can purchase great samples for $200 and load them
into a very functional Motif ES, Fantom, or Triton for much less... and have
all the other great features of those instruments? Makes no sense...

 My bet is that it is never produced for the market...

   Okay... They're taking a generic sample-playing keyboard, putting it
  in a box that vaguely resembles the targeted musical instrument,
  slicing off some of the keys and likewise crippling the sampler's
  other capabilities to match the functional limitations of the targeted
  musical instrument, and marketing the result that as a modern version
  of that instrument.

  At a deep philosophical level, don't you think that's... kind'a weird?
