Heavily discounted SX700 vs new SX720

[Pianotone]

Hi there!   I'm a bit new to the SX series and looking for some buying advice (stores where I live don't stock these so I've never seen an SX in person, you have to order them).  One store where I am can order an SX700 (new) for $1500, or an SX720 (new) for $2100.  Wondering if the 720 is worth that much more?  I know the board is 5-6 years newer, and inherits some of the sounds from higher models and also has the chord looper feature, but that's a big price difference.  I've been using a PSR-EW425 for out and about and a DGX670 at home (which I think is on par with the SX600?  And I'm super happy with that), looking to upgrade the out and about (and possibly replace the DGX as well). I had a CX61 and love the FSB keybed which I understand is the same on both. 

Any thoughts/recommendations from those that are way more familiar with these boards would be much appreciated!

First off I got my SX920 for less than $2100 and that was shipped to me.

He can't post a lesser price than MSRP but he sure can quote you one.

Hi friend,

SX720 is far better than SX700 and, in my opinion, it is better than the SX900 too.

I own a SX920 now. But, i was with a SX720 before for a couple of months, and my suggestion is to you go direct to the SX920 instead of the SX720. Much better sounds with super articulation2, more styles and more functions. Definetily Wort the extra $ you will pay (is not too much...).

Cheers

IMO the newer SX720 is basically an older SX900, without Vocal Harmony, and $2,100 seems high.
Shop around and consider Drake's advise

It seems high in USD. Maybe he's in Canada, where that *is* the actual price (the PSRsx920 is $2999). The price in Australia is $3499! But these are all different dollars, so that's actually correct.

Wait til you see the price variance for Lego...!
