Good luck in your decision. The Andromeda sounds and seems fantastic,
the other two you mentioned a little less so (to me). I hope you find
something you love, and can live with for a long time - I've had my
roland jd-800 since they came out with it, and it's been my main
keyboard ever since - in fact it's been on continuously (I mean it's
been powered up) for most of those 16 years. Never a problem, except
for some outside incidents, like dropping an oberheim on it once and
breaking a few keys - otherwise it's been bulletproof. Hope you find
something like that!
