They are so dirt cheap in used shops when you find them. I think I got
the rack ones for $75 each at the time. The keyboard Mirage was the
ONLY keyboard/rack unit/synth I have ever bought new. I've had it for
decades. Lucky for me I never learned to play on a regular keyboard
and the horrible action never bothers me at all. I have around a
hundred disc for the things but really use only 3-6 sounds on them. I
have a Piano disc I got somewhere that I always use - a beautiful
dirty gritty real sounding piano. The added benefit is that the CEM
chips in them are worth MUCH more than what I paid for them!
