Adam, it would be easier to just let you read about the WK-3500, so here you go:

I've been an enthusiastic player of Casios since 12/82, when I bought my
first one, an MT-40. Other than some major piano scales having been taught to
me by my father, I had no formal keyboard training at that point. As a kid I
played flute for 3 years... several years later studied classical guitar... I
was in a neighborhood music store one day (probably buying strings) and
spotted the above Casio whose little package, boasting 22 sounds, intrigued and
amazed me! Bought it the same day, started then and there teaching myself the
keyboard, and the rest, as they say... I'd loved the Hammond organ sound since age
6 when an aunt gave me Jimmy Smith's "Organ Grinder's Swing"... by 1986 I'd
worked my way up to my first Hammond, an M-102 (with a Leslie 760 bought a few
months later). My point being: before the Hammond, I'd done my "woodshedding"
as it were on Casios! First the MT-40, then a little later the MT-70...
still later, a Radio Shack "Realistic" Moog. I admit... I love the little beasts!
I believe I owe a lot of the progress I made on keyboards during the '80s to
these incredible little machines. These days I play a Korg CX3, Minimoog,
along with the Hammond M-102... but quite often I get the urge to play the Casio
CT-670 I bought about 14 years ago. By that point I was very into the Hammond,
almost as much into electric piano & Moog, but again... I saw this keyboard,
and was once again "intrigued and amazed". I'm curious... this "flagship Casio
WK3500" you speak of... what new delights does it offer? From all I've seen
recently about the Casio 691-whatever-it-is, I'm almost interested in IT;
again, what amazements does the flagship Casio sport?? Thanks in advance and best
wishes - Adam
