Sure the A-90EX is a little bulkier and heavier than the average weighted
88. However, the control, feel and better than average sounds available on
board made it worth the trouble for me to haul mine around. I eventually
went to the A-70 because I couldn't carry the A-90EX in my Camry wagon with
Motion Sound Pro 3T/Low Pro combo I purchased at that time. I had a Shuttle
bag for my A-90EX and it worked like a charm.

Speaking of piano modules, I don't think anyone has mentioned the General
Music Pro Piano module or the keyboard version. The physical
modeling/sample playback technology they had was pretty interesting.
