I decided to keep the Motif XS7, and picked up a Nord Electro Rack.  Then, depending on the gig,  my bottom keyboard is either a Yamaha S90 ES or Kurzweil PC3X.  I've been working with these options for a couple of months now, and the rig seems to working out well.  I still have the great Nord rotary sim; but also the option of routing it to my Roadbox 3 when needed. Everything's cool for now; until the next attack of GAS...

Strange thing though:  when I was in the market for a VR-760, they were extremely hard to find, and very pricey.  I had posted a 'wanted' request on ebay; and there have been 8 VR-760's posted in the last 6 weeks...Plus, one user here had mentioned picking one up in his home town for $600.00...Now if I found one for that price, I'd be tempted to pick it up - just to have the waterfall keys, drawbars, etc...  I'm curious: why the sudden 'glut' ?  Is it the economy; or is there some new toy I'm not aware of that's out, or coming out ?  Perhaps the Diversi  'buzz' ?  Hmm...
