Except:
No aftertouch. That was a deal breaker for *me.* I would have preferred the Krome because I don't actually need workstation features per se: I use an external PC-based sequencer, and I don't actually need KARMA- I can play whatever I need on the keys, and have been doing so for 50 years. But the lack of aftertouch in the industry's mid-range boards (MOX8, MOX6, JP-50, M50, and Krome) is just plain ridiculous. I waited for the Krome to come out before I decided, and the no aftertouch made the answer easy. Additionally, I also really want a JP-50, but Roland ain't getting my money until they add aftertouch.

take your time. learning curve is steep, and the kronos 61 is the 35th keyboard i've owned... I still can't get a few things figured out.
