I'd like a 61-key Polar with violet LEDs and a 9" color widescreen that attaches to the back of the unit. I'd also like an on/off switch and more knobs, eliminating the need for a shift key.

That's awesome news. Access is swapping out my Polar next week, and I am hoping that I'll finally have a glitch-free TI. What a wonderful thing that would be!

Same here, and I've sent in the beta form, but not heard back from them.

Did they suggest you send it to them (Access) directly, or to the retailer that you purchased the TI from?

Re: How much should I pay?

I found an Indigo at a Sam Ash store here in Chicago. They were asking $1395 for it, but I talked them down to $895 after showing the manager some recent sales on eBay (about six months ago).

Yes, it is all TI. Thanks.

That isn't my "current" style of music either, but I thought I'd have some fun with the moogy and FM sounds. But perhaps my age is showing a bit too. :)
