So frustrating that no-one in the vicinity stocks the MODX8 (plenty of 6/7) to get the comparison. I am by no means a great player so am not sure how much better one keybed will be than the other to me. Soundwise I thought MODX had the edge on most of the instruments One thing I have noticed though from online videos (not best i judge I know) is how much noisier the keybed of the MODX seems to be which worries me a little

Sadly, that seems to be the general consensus about the MODX keybed, sounds like much better to go with the 6 or 7 and go with two boards if thats the case.

Thanks for the reponse. Sadly the Compact is semi-weighted so that would rule that out as tbh the PXS3000 is mainly for piano, the other sounds are nice to have (but I probably need more than the PXS1000 offers), so I don't need anything that specifically benefits an organ. My question might have been better phrased as to whether MODX8 is good enough from a piano players perspective to negate the need for the Casio? Or really is it betetr to have a more dedicated DP and leave the MODX to what its better at?

So am tying myself in proverbial knots to come to a decision in regards to setting up a new keyboard rig based on some potential gigging opportunities. I have some solo/small local gigs (coffeehouses/weddings) type of things where it will mainly be piano/organs and some extra instruments and then also the opportunity to gig with a couple of bands where I'll need some more expansive sounds, synths and midi options (splits etc). I have limited transport options and budget so am trying to go with the most portable/affordable options available. Based on the above have settled on the PX-S3000 which ticks the box for the smaller gigs (v portable, speakers and good sound pallette, plus keybed feels pretty good to me), and then going for the MODX7 for the other scenario because IMHO its a great sounding machine at a great price. Is my thinking sound? or should I go with the MODX8 to cover both. The later scenario means am only dealing with one board (though it is heavier) and is cheaper, though I don't have the speaker option of the Casio. The main issue is am eally struggling to try out a MODX8 to see how the keybed is compared to the Casio. Has anyone on here got a comparison? Can I cover both scenarios with the MODX or is having something for each a better fit. Happy to hear any thoughts / suggestions
