If you have lots of money, and dont mind paying $8,500 for a synth the minute you leave the shop will be worth $2,000 (and $1,000 in a year), just go for it.
Some time ago I learnt the hard way something. Since then I promised myself never buy a single piece of anything with chips inside for more than $2,000.
My advice:
-Yamaha S90 EX $2,000. Great piano, lotsa amazing classic sounds plus MOTIF library and the best 88 touch you'll find
-Apple Mac Book Pro with 2GB RAM, $2,500
-Logic Pro 7, $1,000, which already includes half a dozen killer softsynths
-Apogee Ensemble audio interface, $1,900
-M-audio 47Keys keyboard, $99. for when you dont want to lug around with the monster and the 25kg of the YamahaS90
-Additional $1,000 in whatever softsynths you may like
total sum $8,500. Way more powerful. Way better resale value. Much better audio quality. Infinitely more flexible.
PS: that's my setup, btw.
