Brendan,
Thanks for the vote of confidence! I am trying very hard to allow things to progress slowly while I continue to learn, but I know in time I will probably find myself doing jobs I never thought I could. I think from the great feedback here that the 54" would be the way to go, probably fairly soon. Im not 100% sold on Roland just for the sake of that particular brand name, but my little gx-24 is certainly helping to remove my doubts! I really appreciate the responses, they are very, very helpful as I try to take off my "training wheels" a bit more each day.
