The Apple or the.... Banana?

I'm still deciding on my new master controller... My decision so far is to buy

a: Kurzweil PC3 with KORG M3 M OR V-synth XT
b: Kurzweil K2600xs (fully loaded)


The price should be similar, but between the master controllers (PC3 and 2600) the 2600 is better in MOST ways, but when extended with a rack unit, it can be very powerful, especially qwhen adding a whole new technology! Whereas, the 2600xs is increadible in itself but also has slight disavantages...

Also, between the v-synth and the KORG m3 M... This one is difficult, the prices are equal, but now I'm uncertain... initially, the V-synth XT was my choice, but now that I've examines the M3 M abd its power, my mind has been blown as well as from the power of the V-synth XT!

Try to give any convincing points about each thing, please!!! Thanks!!

I would advice you the Kurzweil K2600XS with Roland V Synth XT.The best choice!

[-=AnatomiC=-]

First of all... you can't really choose between M3 and V-Synth XT. (like you said - apple and banana).
I would not take XT right now, because the prices will drop very soon.

PC3 and M3 have almost the same purpose, so I don't recommend it either.
You will probably end up using only 1 of them - I would use M3 for example.
It better to buy something completely different as a second board/module. The best combo is IMO workstation and a VA (depends on your style of music)

Besides - don't rush. Buy 1 keyboard first, wait a couple of months, and decide what features do you need to reinforce your first one.

Also, I said it 1000 times btw: there is not such thing as the best keyboard/rig.
You have to find it out for yourself, but if you would give some details about your musical view (what music do you play, how much, gigs etc etc), we could recommend a better option maybe...
