Taking into account the limitations of the WK 7500 mentioned (and I could add a
few more) as a WK7500 owner for the past 6 months I would endorse Brian's
comments on its usability as a live instrument. It may not cut it in a Booker T
and the MG's tribute band but for a range of usable tones including drawbar
organ in a cover band it is no worse than many more expensive red, black or wood
cased ones usually discussed here when played through the house pa with a house
sound "engineer" who is not that interested in accomodating keys. These days I
always supply my own DI (which is essential to get a good sound out of the
Casio).

After playing Casios for 5 years (and doing some recording with them where keys
were required to fill out blues songs) I can attest that when keys are sitting
down in the mix it is hard to tell the difference. However I have been saving
my pennies and looking forward to getting the read deal and have just purchased
an XK3c. It cost me exactly five times the cost of the WK7500 and yes it blows
the drawbar section of the WK7500 away. Like Brian the WK7500 will still get
plenty of outings to gigs where space is tight and there is the risk of beer
being splilled on the KB. And as Brian pointed out punters often comment on how
good the Casio sounds.

For anyone getting into or coming back to keyboards and wanting to do so on a
budget the WK7500 is probably the best value yet released in the market by any
manufacturer. Once you have reached the limitations of this board you will have
a good idea of what to look for further up the price scale.
