Hi,would like to ask your opinion...
I have the chance to change my Electro 3Hp (used extencively for 3 years and no major problem)for a brand new Electro 4 Sw73 , only 200$ in between !
How does it sound ?

That's really going to depend on how you use your 3HP.
If you primarily play piano, the SW keys are a very different experience. The Electro 4 does have more piano memory, but you need to determine if you can play piano on the SW keys. I personally prefer the HP keys for piano playing.
If you play primarily organ, the Electro 4 is a step up, as it has an improved rotary speaker simulation. And the SW keys are better for organ playing. I personally think the SW keys work pretty well for electric piano (Rhodes and Wurlitzer) playing.
I really like my Electro 3HP. I bought a Stage 2EX recently to replace it, but I'm having second thoughts about getting rid of it.

Re: A change is gonna come
Well primarely piano yes,but i bought a CP4 and use it as my main instrument and was thinking of having the Electro for rehersals and light gigs.And organ of course (CP4 is very week in comparison)
The point to concider is the age of my 3Hp .... 4 years old and no good service here in Antalya!
The 3Hp has seen some heavy duty workout during it's lifespan

Re: A change is gonna come
The Electro 3 to Electro 4 was a pretty good upgrade for me. I found better organ sounds, and more room for piano samples. For $200, I'd consider it -- all other things being equal.
I think I have gear issues ....

I certainly think your plan will work then. $200 difference is not a lot.
Best of luck and have fun with your new Electro!

Re: A change is gonna come
that's a huge upgrade for small change -- what many would call "a no-brainer"
