If they would come out with a 76 key version, for $799, and the action suited me I would have no qualms about purchasing it if it were a quality keyboard. Like Glyn said, 61 keys don't quite cut it when you're trying to use key switching.
 
They do include After Touch which is getting hard to find on any midi keyboards unless you purchase a flagship model workstation. I will be following it and time will tell if it's a worthwhile addition or just another piece of proprietary plastic.
 
$199 for the K10 upgrade??? Not happening here... 

Ya... They can stuff it with that $400 for a K10U update. No way I'm seeing $400 worth of interesting stuff in that over K9U. $100, sure I'd do that. Not $400 though. Particularly since they seem to be charging the same for an update no matter what version you come from. That being the case there's no reason not to wait until 11 or 12 that has something more I want.

I kinda like everything I'm seeing, both in K10 and the new controllers.   They're just both out of my price range at the moment vs. what I'd be getting in return.    If I had the cash though the key-switch lights are a pretty nifty addition, and the new pianos (at least from the demos) sound nice.   So do some of the synths and Session Horns. 
 
Anyone got $1000 they don't need?   
 

I checked out the K10 update and I think they actually removed a couple K9 items and put them in K10U. I must be losing it.
 
At any rate, it's not worth it for me to stay current. If I could jump to K10U from K9 for $249 that would feel right. I don't need anything more unless the price is a no-brainer type of deal. I Am a teur, after all.

NI has been having 50%-off sales every Black Friday, and upgrade sales at least once a year, so it may be worth waiting unless there's something here you just gotta have right now. 
 
I must say, if that piano pack goes down to $100 for the set, I may grab it.  BF isn't that far away, is it?

I had not realized how expensive this update would be.  So I rechecked it and it is$399 for update from K9Ultimate or from K8Ultimate.  That is too much in my opinion.

it's gonna be 249 on sale if you really want it .....
 
In person i'm trying to stop myslef with this komplete nonsense since it''s apain to maintain ..even if you use it in machine , all the updates to do , auth ect ....between diffrent version of complete ect ....

If you own K9 and wait till BF...then it will be $99.50 for the update and you'll get the pianos
and all the new stuff...that's my plan...if I can, I'll make the leap to Ultimate, but at the bare
minimum make the jump to K10....

Yeah, I totally agree with you Zo.  I will still be watching that S61 keyboard control for the future progress.
