My experience with the TP-100 is quite different. I have a SL88 Studio controller and I find it wonderful for controlling EPs and acoustic pianos. If the Seven feels the same ( why wouldn't it? ) then it promises to feel great to me. I'm not sure comparing the Seven directly to a refurbished Rhodes is completely fair. For one thing, I won't gig with an instrument that weighs what a Rhodes weighs, for another the Seven is much more than a Rhodes. It offers Wurlie, CPs, Clavs, DXs, acoustic piano, etc. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these babies.......
