It looks pretty fly to me, it has full size keys and a way better build quality along with an easier to manipulate editing matrix. That being said you would probably be better off buying a Dave Smith Mopho and a simple midi keyboard to control it or saving for a Moog little phatty.

the USB is dope though, could be a soft synth controller and a regular synth in one board

The keys look a lot nicer than on the previous model.

Anyone know if the keys are bigger?

Full size keys.

I'm getting one as soon as I find a good deal on one, they're like 5 bills right now right?

So does this mean there will be a price drop for the original microkorg??

I'm pretty sure the keys are not full size from the videos I've seen although they look better than the original microKorg's. If it's better than it's original then it's off to a good start.

I really like the 1st one so I'm itching to have a play on one of these. I don't find the small keys too much of a problem by the way, but I'm no concert pianist though.

Looks cool and sounds it from what I've seen on the web.

My bad, I think you're right Steve. They look a lot better though.
