2600 FS was not 10k; it sells for that second-hand. HUGE difference. sale price was 4k. and people mention that sort of price gouging/gear flipping all the time.
regardless, I’d gladly pay 10k for the Korg version before I’d give Behringer a single penny.
Yeah. I paid £3400 for my FS. I will always contend that given the stellar build quality & the fact you got the gorgeous 3620 keyboard & the travel case included it was excellent value for money.
fwiw, in regards to the MiniKorg 700 FS… someone on GS says their Sweetwater rep told 'em Korg hasn’t given them a price yet and won’t let them post a sale page until NAMM official release (Friday, right?). they also don’t have the 2600m page up yet (likely same policy on NAMM release). so maybe take the price with a grain of salt…
2400$ before taxes in Canada, it says limited edition but I’m not sure how they really got some of the first 1000 units for preorder. I took the bullet and will see if I’m lucky enough ! And it’s coming in June !
fwiw, there’s talk/concern on MW about the nuts for the jacks. they look a little too perfectly aligned. apparently the MS20 mini looked the same, and they used cheap/fake plastic nuts there, which were problematic; and not what you’d want in such an iconic re-make for that price.
if true, it does help explain how this is $1800 and the miniKorg is $2k (if these prices hold).
