==============================================

Dear Tim:

First, I assume that the 795 is the drawknob version of the 790.
If that is true, then the following is my opinion !!!

I had a Rodgers 790 in my home for about 2 years.  It worked flawlessly.
We traded it in, replacing it with a Trillium 927 since I wanted a 
three-manual organ.
The two MIDI pistons per division are a huge asset.  RSS is sold by
Rodgers dealers as an add-on package for PDI organs, so it can be installed 
on the 795.
The superior stop list on the 795 influences my preference for the 795.

So I strongly suggest going for the 795.

Your dealer should give you a great deal on the MX-200 in either event.
I would have an MX-200 today if my dealer could deliver one, and we have
not yet negotiated a price.  He had sold around
8 MX-200's prior to my wanting to buy one, and he is getting only 2 per month
so I will have to wait a while.  Can you tell me approximately at what selling
price your dealer is offering the MX-200?

Sincerely,

Jack Cormack
Potomac, Maryland
