I'm certainly excited about the A-154 and would also purchase 
a "normal" keyboard. I've played around on a Buchla Music Easel and 
it's definately not a keyboard. Can someone enlighten me about the 
advantages of a "touch" keyboard over a "normal" keyboard?

And please-no wooden case! It's the 3rd millenium. Why are we still 
packaging electronics in wood? Or worse; particle board with a 
picture of wood glued on it. It reminds me of the console stereo my 
parents had in the early 70's-the thing looked like a coffin! Yuk! 
Give me aluminium.

Cheers,

Richard.
