I bought this keyboard back in November of 08' This keyboard has the best sounds that simulate real world instruments. I've also had the priveledge of hearing the Roland Fantom and there is no compari... read more [+]son. I also own some soundware and I can tell you that this keyboard is strickingly close to a real Steinway piano. It's a bit of a learning curve but so are most things in life that are worth while. I chose the XS7 because I did not want weighted keys so that I can play faster but there is a slightness to stricking each key which is what I was hoping for. Don't pass this one up. close [-]
