I was truly blessed this week. I must have done some good deeds.
I'd looked for a store that had a Korg PA700 and a Yamaha SX700 to compare them over the last few months, and finally found a store that had the PA1000 and the SX900, as that would be close enough to the PA700 and the SX700. Both were very good, although I found the Korg complicated.
I was about to walk out when they offered me the SX900, which they had just opened for me, at a discount. Someone had ordered it, but not picked it up after 2months of arrival and given the demand another store had asked for it. Went back and forth and just said what I thought to be a ridiculous price --- they beat it by $100! All in all, out the door with all taxes I paid $1800 -- that is just a bit more than I would have paid for the SX700, and approx 25% of the full out the door price.
I'm still in shock.
