Subject:Opinions sought on Roland VK-88 vs. other "duals"

Hi everybody. I'm a newbie here at the group, so HELLO to all.

I am interested in the Roland VK-88 and know where I can get
one "out of box" for $3,000. If someone else is interested I'll
pass along the "where is it?" information.

What I really want to know is, in general, what do players like or
love about it, and what do players dislike or hate about it? Its OK
to have an opinion here - I'm looking for differences in opinion on
this. I know some folks hate Roland's and some folks don't, but I
would like to know as much as possible about the VK-88 before
plunking down $3,000 for one.

I own a Roland VK-7 that I bought in 1998.

The mp3 files of the Voce sounded better than the VK-77, but I
have seen little to no information on the VK-88 - no reviews at all.
I just wonder if I should save my pennies and wait for something
else. Balanced outputs are important to me, so that limits the
decision.

Sorry the post is so long, but hey, I'm a newbie. I'm learning.
