Subject:More on new controller decision

Hey everybody. Dave Osoff here.. Thanks for all the suggestions
on controllers, etc., last week. I'll be checking out a few in the
week ahead.

I also considering splurging on something a bit more high end,
with a lot of sounds/features. One of the boards I'm thinking
about is the Kurzweil PC2. I'd like any feedback good or bad
from any owners out there.

It has the semi weighted 76 key action I like and tons of sounds
and controller features and the KB3 thing, which would be cool
as a backup.

I remember this board having reliability problems when it first
came out 2 or 3 years ago - OS problems, performance midi
setups disappearing and reverting to the factory presets...
Supposedly this was fixed with an OS update. Any info on that?

My other Kurzweil problem from many years ago (PC88) was that
the keybed itself wore out within a year of heavy gigging, but not
heavy banging. Any thoughts on that, overall reliaiblity of modern
Kurzweil?

Thanks,
Dave O
