Disklavier

I agree, why replace it?  That is really my question, is there any real 
advantage to replacing it, or adding the DKC850.
Or what is the best way to get the most use out of a DC7FII with DKC100R?

I use windows and Use cakewalk.  But I have been able to use almost any 
quality midi program over the years to control the DKC100R (I think this is 
what you mean by computer source sequencing.)  It takes midi on channel 1 (I 
believe you can have channel 1 and 2 for a two part piece if desired.)  The 
pedal works for me.  I also think many midi interfaces over the years have 
all worked correctly.

Just curious why u might want replace your unit if it is working... Have you 
tried computer source sequencing?? If so, with what sequencing software 
works well for you... I have the same unit ...
