This confirms my speculation that this clone would be priced lower
than the VK-7 was when it was new. I've not heard or seen a VK-8,
but with a street price of $1495 or less and a waterfall keyboard,
they might have a winner on their hands. If the sound engine is the
same as the VK-77, it is bound to be a decent clone.

Too bad they didn't sneak another set of drawbars on there to
directly compete with the CX3. In my opinion, this is the feature to
be beat on the CX3 and no one else is doing it on a single manual
clone.

Wonder when this puppy will be shipping?
