Heks naw, unfortunately not, I have an es8. I bought my ES when the sx just
came out and they dropped prices on the ES like crazy... I just might have
to do the same for the sx now, get it when the xf comes out... I figure if
the sx goes down to around 2000 bucks,  I just have to make a few websites
for people, do some things here and there and perhaps get it. lol

D!J!X!

No! I use that board for live shows! And XS8 would break my back.  It's an
XS6.  It still has the plastic cover over the screen and all.  For real
piano feel in the studio, I have an S80.  Don't you have an XS?

I will actually also consider buying it simply for the ability to keep
sample libraries on the flash memory.  Unfortunately, my wife bought me the
XS I have, and she paid full price for it at Sweetwater.  So, I know I will
be losing money by selling it since there's no way I can get anywhere near
full price for it.  It is my policy not to buy stuff at retail price since
I'm such a great e-bay and Craig's list shopper!

There's no struggle. Besides, I am selling off most everything else I own.
And why am I singled out here when Gord already said he was buying it?
Jealous, GF? lol
