I play many keyboards, mainly PSR, perfect for gigging, I don’t hear much difference from the PSR 3000 to the S975, if I record a song on both keyboards you just could not say for sure which is which by listening to the recording. Yes, the 975 has many new sounds but most of the sounds are from the same WAV as past keyboards, with a different EQ/fx, I mean 90 guitars,I only use 3 guitars.
Now there is endless talk about how good the SX900 is, well, from what I’ve heard so far, nothing much has changed in the sound department, you really have to go up to a Genos for better all round sound improvements, if the Genos was available as a Genos 61 then I would have got one a long time ago,
If I just had a PSR 3000 to gig with, I would be ok with it, probably would take 2/3 weeks to get it ‘stage ready’. just recorded some small clips on the -3000
The drums are probably better on the S975 but to be truthful, I haven’t spent any time to edit the style or anything on the 3000, just recorded it straight.
(apologies RE. the balance of the recording, I have no time to sort that out right now, it’s just a ‘sound check’ clip)
