Subject:RE: NE 61 vs. 73

I'm totally in the minority here but I'll repeat:

1) The stock piano voice in the Electro 73 v2 works just great for me -
r&r/blues/fusion
2) The feel of the piano, given it's not weighted, is quite workable.
3) 73 keys is more gooder than 61 (this is probably not a minority opinion)
