[Korg Vox Continental � how's it holding up 2 years later?]

I love mine for the same reasons others have stated. On the subject of pricing, I got my 73 key with the stand from the UK for about $1K everything included.

Thomann in Germany has them now for around the same. I had no import tax to pay either. Retailers in the US are much higher for some reason

A steal at that price.

[Korg Grandstage.....Anyone tried it?]

Yeah, I've been feeling this way about the RH3 for a long time. Not sure I would even thumb up the $700 D1 with it against a Casio PX or Yamaha P w/ GHS - or maybe I'd say it's alright in that class.

I enjoy the RH3 in the SV1, not in the Kronos. Haven't tried a Grandstage,

 

Agree 100%.

 

I'm fortunate to have both the SV1 and a KronosX 73. The SV1 keybed just feels MUCH better to me for EP's and AP's compared to the X. It's a joy to play.

Does aftertouch in the Kronos change the feel of the keybed that much?

Maybe it has to do with a different chassis and how it fits.

 

[Keyboard for couch playing?]

I've got a Roland Juno Gi for couching. It's light in your lap (12 pounds), not too short (61 keys) and great for doodling. Of course I wear head phones so I'm not concerned about hearing what I'm watching on TV.

 

As mentioned, this will not build your chops but it does keep the keyboard "fun factor" alive. Especially for a beginner.
