XW-P1 is my go-to gig synth, and it always dazzles people, especially the brand snobs. I've played country, rock, synth-pop, blues, and more on it, and it has everything you'd need or want. I bought an extra one (still in the box) so when that dark day comes when my first one croaks, I can easily transition over again. Great board. Also, just went through a month of sampling newer possible replacements for my Privia PX-5S, including boards from Roland, Yamaha, and Korg, and nothing is a good, light, playable, and flexible. So, the result of my window shopping was to buy another PX-5S in case that board ever goes. These were two spectacular pieces of equipment, and merit redundancy so after a decade or more of heavy use (they both seem still indestructible), I can just swap another in and have another decade of fun! Huzzah!
