2021 has been a big year for Roland with 5, count em' 5, new Roland digital pianos hitting the market, each one an update to a popular previous model.
In this article, we'll take a quick glance at each of the 5 models and briefly cover exactly what was approved with each model.
Roland FP-X Series - Overview
As one of the top players in the home digital piano market, pretty much every model Roland offers has been a huge seller. Updates on existing models are usually staggered so that new models come out one or two at a time, but in this case, Roland decided to update 5 models simultaneously.
With the exception of the entry-level FP-10, the entire FP series has been upgraded with the FP-30 is now the FP-30X, the FP-60 is now the FP-60X, the FP-90 is now the FP-90X, while home digital piano F140r has been upgraded to the F701, and the RP501 is now the RP701.
Let's take a look at each instrument to see exactly what was improved over the previous generation's model.
Roland FP-30X Digital Piano
When we first saw the spec sheets, we couldn't wait to get our hands on the FP-30X. Two critical updates that people have been begging for are present here; an increase to the polyphony, which in this case means an increase to the complexity of the piano sound and dedicated line outputs.
The polyphony has literally been doubled from 128 notes to 256, courtesy of the new BMC chip, and this is quite indicative of the extra processing power that the FP-30X is working with.
The twin quarter-inch outputs are a very significant add as they are totally separate from the headphone jack. This means the FP-30X is finally going to become a true gigging piano, which is great because the original FP-30 was always right on the cusp of being a killer gigging piano. The FP-30 was undoubtedly an excellent instrument, but adding the twin line outputs brings it to a whole new level.
Rounding out the improvements are 21 additional onboard sounds including improved piano tones, and the addition of Bluetooth audio connectivity. The FP-30 had Bluetooth MIDI for connection to music apps like Garageband, but the Audio functionality is a very welcome addition as it allows you to use the FP-30X to stream music directly from the onboard speakers.
The FP-30X again comes standard with a damper pedal, but you can upgrade to the three-pedal unit KPD 70 and KSC 70 matching optional stand.
Early feedback on the FP-30X has pretty much been unanimous - this is a class-leading instrument in the portable piano category that delivers incredible value.
Roland FP-60X Digital Piano
The FP-60X isn't the same 'Home Run' of an improvement that the FP-30X in the sense that the improvements are not as significant as those found on the FP-30X. That said, Roland didn't simply roll back the FP-60 and alter the name, there are several improvements that need to be noted.
To start, the total onboard sounds have been expanded to a large trove of 358 sounds, including a great selection of electric pianos, strings, synths, and more, all courtesy of the trusty SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine.
They've also improved the stereo speaker design and combined with the BMC chip, the FP-60X is undoubtedly delivering higher fidelity sound than what the FP-60 was capable of.
A couple of other things to mention; they've added the My Stage feature, added a mic input, and added 22 additional internal songs.
The FP-60X brings back the PHA4 Standard Keyboard action with escapement and ivory feel, so the improvements are pretty much all sound-related, which of course, isn't a bad thing.
Roland FP-90X Digital Piano
The FP-90X has a fairly short list of upgrades, but the main upgrade is very substantial - the FP-90X utilizes the brand new PureAcoustic Piano Modeling Engine, which can otherwise only be found in the top two LX-700 series flagship home digital pianos.
This is the latest in piano technology with one of the most sophisticated sound engines available in any digital piano, offering limitless polyphony while on acoustic piano tones, and delivering seriously high-level authenticity. The new ambience effects are particularly noteworthy, and getting in and customizing the sound with the Piano Designer app is tons of fun.
Otherwise, they've also expanded the total amount of onboard tones, added a second headphone input, and made the FP-90X compatible with the new Piano Everyday app.
The PHA-50 hybrid wood hammer action with escapement makes a return and maintains its place as one of the best actions available in a portable digital piano with phenomenal playability.
The class-leading onboard speaker system (twin subs and twin dome tweeters) and powerful amplifiers return as well. The FP-90X makes a strong case for being the best all-in-one stage piano available.
Roland F701 Digital Piano
Roland's F140r was an absolute force in the ultra-competitive mid-range home digital piano market, so like the FP-30X, this is an incredibly important instrument for Roland to get right with the new generation. Fortunately, they did just that.
Let's start with the appearance. The F701 retains the spirit of the F140r as a modern, highly compact instrument, but they have made the cabinet more robust and durable. The user interface has also been improved and is much easier to operate.
Like the FP-30X, the polyphony has been doubled to a class-leading 256 notes. There's also a massive list of onboard tones with over 300, also a class-leading spec.
The internal song list has been greatly expanded, and the F701 now incorporates Bluetooth Audio connectivity.
Overall, these improvements represent a sizeable improvement over the F104r.
Roland RP701 Digital Piano
The upgrades the RP701 offers over the RP501 are basically the exact same as the F701, which should come as no surprise given that the F140r and RP501 were very similar instruments aside from the cabinetry.
The relationship stays the same here, but the cabinet differences between the F701 and RP701 are now much more dramatic; the RP701 captures the true look and feel of an acoustic upright piano much better than the RP501 did.
Otherwise, we've got all the same upgrades - polyphony increased to 256 notes, more on-board sounds, more internal songs, Bluetooth Audio, and an improved user interface.
The RP701 is a great option for someone looking for the look of an acoustic piano with the functionality of a digital piano, without running into the multiple thousands of dollars.
Conclusions
5 new pianos, all with varying degrees of improvement, though all with the exception of the FP-60X represent a fairly significant level of improvement over their previous incarnations.

Hi everybody, my name is Stu Harrison of Merriam Pianos. Today we're are going to do an overview of the Roland FP Series of 88-key digital pianos. We're gonna be looking at every single model of the series, the Roland FP-10, 30, 60, and 90, outlining the critical differences between them and of course, discussing who Roland has made these instruments for. If you're just starting your shopping process and you've been hearing about the FP series, we hope this is will help you take your research to the next level.
We should point out that we've already done individual review videos for every single one of the models that we're about to look at in this article. If you do want to dive one layer deeper in terms of the detail and the specifications that we're covering, do a quick search on our YouTube channel, of course, you'll find our individual reviews and playing videos for FP-10, 30, 60, and 90, as well as other Roland instruments, from the Roland GO to the Roland RD-2000.
Now, what's been Roland's intention behind the FP series? Easy answer - portability and functionality. These instruments are designed as all in one units for easy transportation, and whether you're talking about the FP-10 or the FP-90, Roland's goal has been to deliver the best playing experience in as portable a package as possible for the price range. The success of the FP series has allowed Roland a prominent role in the highly competitive portable digital piano market.
FP-10
The Roland FP-10 is the first entry in the series and lands well under the $1,000 price range. When it first came out in 2019 it completely took the industry by surprise and threw down the gauntlet for entry level digital pianos - a part of the market traditionally dominated by Casio and Yamaha. This is an instrument equipped with Roland's PHA-4 hammer action, which features a triple sensor, ivory feel keys, textured ebony keys, escapement and an overall feel similar to that of a grand piano. The FP10 uses Roland's SuperNATURAL piano sound engine, which is one of the things that Roland's become so well known for in the electric piano world over the last 10 years. It's got a pretty decent set of speakers, and you can of course use headphones alternatively as well.
What floors me about that FP-10 is that compared to any other instrument that you can find in its price range, it's one of the only ones with a triple sensor, and it's got exactly the same action as you get in the Roland FP-30 as well as the Roland FP-60, as well as home digital pianos such as the Roland RP102, Roland F-140r and Roland RP501R. Roland is clearly not cheaping out on components as it goes down to this price range. So, if you're looking for the least expensive instrument that you can get that still feels genuinely like an acoustic piano, you should have the FP-10 on your shopping list to check out. It's worth mentioning that while FP10 comes standard as a portable slab piano, like all the FPs, Roland does make a more permanent wooden stand that you can buy with it.
I would definitely recommend that you upgrade the little pedal switch that Roland packs with it up to their DP-10, which makes the FP10 closer to a proper digital stage piano because its capable of half-pedaling. We also need to mention that the FP10 is not compatible with a triple pedal unit, so if that's important to you, the FP10 won't be the right fit. The FP10 is available in a contemporary black finish.
FP-30
Moving up to the next entry in the line brings us to the Roland FP-30, which has a lot of similarities with the FP-10. The FP-30 is a few hundred dollars more, which buys you greater wattage in the speakers, a heavier case as well as the option to ad a triple pedal system to the matching Roland stand. The FP-30 also has more available on-board piano tones, other sounds and features. To boil it down, the FP-10 offers a basic piano sound built around that PHA-4 action, super easy portability and an overall great experience for the price. The FP-30 offers a little more versatility, with better onboard speakers, the ability to add a triple pedal for classical music and more on-board features. Both instruments are capable of interacting with the Roland Piano Partner 2 app via Bluetooth connectivity. The FP-30 is available in both black and white finishes
FP-60
Next up is the Roland FP-60. There's a major jump here in terms of the integrated experience meaning the addition of control panels and surfaces that you have to work with on the FP-60, as compared to the 10 and the 30. This FP60 features on-board control over parameters like EQ, and other types of on-board effects processing. There is also a wider range of tones and the speaker system is very high-quality. The FP-60 is close to twice the price of the FP-30, also has Bluetooth connectivity and is a really nice upgrade for people who are going to be using this consistently in a live setting where the extra punch of the speakers will be helpful. The FP-60 is available in both black and white finishes.
FP-90
The Roland FP-90 digital piano, in many ways, sits in its own category or subcategory within the FP series because of how much more you get with the FP-90. You go from the SuperNATURAL tone engine with gradually increasing polyphony that the other three have, to full sound modelling technology with the FP90. This is a really big deal - a sample based digital home piano plays back a recording of a real instrument whereas modelling actually constructs the piano sound from scratch in real time when you hit the key. Not only does modelling give you more parameters to edit in the Piano Designer app, but it also gives you unlimited polyphony as long as you are inside the default piano patch.
The FP-90 also boasts Roland's upgraded PHA-50 action, which is a hybrid wood and plastic action that feels even more like an acoustic grand piano than the PHA4 action. On top of that, the FP-90 features a microphone input, and you still have the EQ connections, a large number of onboard sounds, intelligent accompaniment options and of course, more powerful speakers for better sound quality. There's a substantial increase in the wattage and you've got tweeters and mains as well as a very impressive bass response. Add all of this up and it's clear that the FP-90 is built for pro players who need a portable option that doesn't require an amp to function.
If you're a serious home user and portability isn't a primary concern, you can add Roland's permanent stand and three-pedal system which essentially gives you a top-level home digital piano. The FP-90 is available in both black and white finishes.

The RD-2000 is the latest in the RD series from Roland - probably the world's best-known stage pianos of the last 10 years along with Nord's lineup, and a bench-mark for master controllers across the industry. It offers up a dual sound engine, giving full polyphony to it's piano sounds; it has the Supernatural Piano engine and sounds loaded on it; with wave expansion slots, vintage effects engine, 9 faders and knobs to give crazy levels of real-time control in live and studio settings. And if that's not enough, there's both a set of modulation wheels and pitch bender, onboard parametric equalizer, and assignable audio outs through both 1/4" and XLR jacks, this thing is a pure beast and a power tool for keyboardists of all stripes. Stu Harrison, a personal user of the RD2000, sits down for a video review of the machine he plays on sometimes on a daily basis within the professional Toronto music scene.
Roland RD2000 Digital Stage Piano Review Video Transcription
Hi, everybody, my name is Stu Harrison, we're back at Merriam Pianos for another piano review. And today, we're looking at is the Roland RD2000 professional stage piano, an instrument just loaded with controller features, internal sounds, the latest in digital piano research and supernatural technology, and all driven by an action that approaches an authentic grand piano touch. Now, this is an instrument that came out in January of 2017, so it's been out on the market for a couple of years, but still just as dominant, just as impressive. And to be honest, and full disclosure, this is actually the instrument that I professionally used to play on. So, if you detect some heavy personal bias during this review, that's why. When I was at the NAMM Show in 2017, I actually put the order in with Roland literally behind their booth right after I saw the main demo. I was so impressed with the capabilities. And to this day, I continue to be happy with and impressed with what this instrument does, both in studio and on stage.
So, we're gonna be diving into the action, and we're gonna be talking about the suite of features on here, how they've set up the interface, some of the cool things that I really love about this instrument, and hopefully, give you a slightly deeper insight into whether this might be a great option for you at home. If you're a professional, or you're somebody who's just a big sound enthusiast, or, you know, a gearhead, lots to love here on the RD2000 digital piano. So, we're gonna get started right away, thank you so much for joining us today.
The PHA-50 Hybrid Wood Action With Escapement and Ivory Feel
My battle with digital stage pianos generally starts with the action. I would fall into the category of snobby piano players that absolutely insist on action being absolutely as good as it possibly can be. Even if I'm at a 30-minute gig, and, you know, the setup takes longer than you're actually gonna be playing, I still really love having something that's gonna feel like a real acoustic hammer action so I can feel unconstrained by the instrument, I'm just gonna be able to have fun. And so, this has always been something that has been the very top of the list priority for me anytime I've been shopping for a stage piano.
Now, the chronology of what I've owned over the course of the years, just for perspective, I've had Yamaha CP300, I've used Yamaha S90... Is it an SE, or the second edition of it? We've had the Yamaha Motif8, then we've had Roland Fantom X8, and then, of course, now we've got an RD2000. And so, I've had these gigantic, beastly, super heavy machines for the last 20 years of my gigging life, and the action continues to be something that I battle with.
Now, when I play the RD2000, the action was just this amazing surprise. They are using the same action in the RD2000 as what you're gonna get on a lot of their LX, HP, or the DP603 digital piano. So, this is an actual wood core action, I believe they call it the PHA-50 progressive hammer action keyboard. So, you've got a nice texture on the top, you've got a wood core action in the middle, it's got escapement, but it's a real pleasure to play this instrument. The ivory feel white keys, and the ebony feel black keys are lovely to the touch, and the keys - I can personally attest to this - are certainly built to a rugged durability.
And so, I do a ton of work on here where I have to go into studios where there's no piano, this really allows me to be quite expressive even when you're doing subtle solo stuff. Obviously, out on gigs it feels immediately comfortable, it's not overly heavy, but, you know, I can play three, four hours on this, no problem. There's no fatigue like you get on some of the heavier stuff, like some of those Yamaha CP300s were just really heavy actions. Players out there will know exactly what I'm talking about.
So, first thing you're gonna notice, if you're like me, is that this action is super, super satisfying. The PHA-50 Keyboard is a true hybrid key with the wood core. It's got a great, sort of, a dynamic weight to it, static weight to it...whether you're playing an acoustic piano, whether you're doing some Rhodes stuff, it has a very, very natural feel.
V-Piano Tone Engine the Piano Sound Engine
In terms of what it's loaded with, from a sound standpoint, there's obviously lots of options to get expansion boards and expansion sounds on this, but right out of the box, it is equipped with two independent sound engines, the SuperNATURAL piano engine and the V-piano engine (for full-keyboard polyphony) which is great. And there's also quite a bit of modeling going on. So, even for the piano, and for the Rhodes (or any of the other classic electric pianos its loaded up with - and there are many), for the organ, any of these, like, core sound machines, what you're gonna notice is this has got tone designer on here. So, this is very similar to, like, the Virtual Technician.
So, if I'm just on piano tone, or the default "stage grand", and I hit tone designer, I immediately get piano designers and option, and this is where I now have the option to start editing the lid, the height of the lid, string resonance, damper resonance, hammer noise, duplex, key off, cabinet. I mean, it's pretty extensive what you have to work with, and that's before you even get into any of the effects processing.
So, as an engine, I would give this top marks in terms of being able to edit and create a really authentic acoustic piano tone without getting into any of the effecting, just the core piano engine, lots of good options as well. Out of the box, as I said, they've got a lot of the supernatural and the piano-influenced programming, lots of great presets, deep concert.
So, you can hear all sorts of different textures coming out of there as I'm flipping through a lot of the, sort of, their core presets on the piano. They've got a lot of great presets when it comes to the vintage stuff as well. So, if we go into tone designer, and on the vintage stuff, you've got hum noise, mechanical noise, mechanical key off, sound lift, lots of great stuff that you can play around with there as well.
Additional Sound Banks
The second supernatural engine provides an onboard sound suite which is plentiful - over 1100 quality sounds, and some exquisite recreations of some of Roland's most famous synthesizers and keyboards from the past, like the MKS-20, or the Boss CE-1 Chorus. In terms of the quick select, you've got all of these tones organized into sections. So, you've got your acoustic piano section, your electric piano section, your clav organ, we're gonna talk about that in a second, strings, pad, bass, and then other. Well, the other is as big, or bigger, as the sounds which are preset. And so, there's ensemble sounds like ensemble brass or ensemble strings, solo brass, woodwinds, flute, sax, recorder, synth lead, polykey, synth sequencing pad, pulsating beats, hits, sound effects, percussion, all of these are categories that have, like, 15 to 20 sounds in each.
So, just a massive onboard sound library for you to work with. This is great for people who are gonna use this as a sound source within a studio. What I wind up using this for more is as a live instrument, of course. This huge bank of sounds means that you can create a wealth of presets that are gonna be just perfect for exactly what the application is that you're looking for. So, if you're looking for a specific synth sound to go along with some MJ tune that you're playing on a gig, or you're looking to really, really tweak some, kind of, deep, you know, synth-y bass thing without having to get into hardware, you can actually use this to do it all yourself.
Virtual Tone Wheel Organ Module
Now, I said I was gonna come back to the organ. So, we've covered action, we've covered acoustic piano, electric piano, let's talk about the organ for a second. Because this is something that I think Roland is very aware that most keyboard players on gigs are called upon to pull out some B3 stuff now and again, and I think they've really made a cool attempt to integrate some design functionality into the Roland that brings the organ experience up a notch. Essentially, the RD2000 has a virtual tone wheel organ emulator built right in, as a discrete sound module - and it's convincingly done. And so, if we click on the organ and we start looking at these presets, they've got eight great presets, but all this is really working off, kind of, like, a virtual organ instrument. And so, with one hit, the key, we're just gonna pull up the harmonic bar, those slide bars... And I know Lee's gonna grab some footage of this later so that we can see exactly what we're talking about. We've got nine independent tone bars, just like you're gonna find on a B3, and this is entirely in real time, customizable tone bar. So...
And you've got your little toggle wheel over here which triggers the Leslie. And so, you've got all of those things, you can save them as presets, or as I said, this comes equipped with all sorts of predetermined sounds that you often hear out there. So, the organ functionality down here is great, that's another thing that really appealed to me.
Now, once you start creating your own programs, or setting up a gig, and this is where I think the RD2000 digital really shines, is a couple of key differences, approaches, not sure what the right word is, but the control interface is so intuitive, you don't wind up having to spend eons digging through menus. I really, really love the fact that you've got mixer, sort of, fader bars to manage your different patches within a program. Easy on/off buttons immediately overtop if you're trying to activate or deactivate a particular patch, easy selection of those zones. And then an entire control surface, which makes it very, very easy to get to your standard envelope controls, like your pan, your reverb, cut off, resonance, tack, release, all of that. The Keyboard setup flows well, it's easy to select different key ranges and assign them to the zones, the scene function is easy to use for gig setup...it's a candy store of modern controller features.
Assignable Controller Functions
You've got an entirely assignable set of controls. So, if you're hooking this up to a computer to use soft synths and other software instruments, external sources, or just as a midi interface, this has every widget that you'd expect out of a master controller, and everything you'd need to control a mobile daw or even a daw-studio setup. If you've got an auto-detect functionality within your system, you can just quickly go through and assign these knobs to any parameter you want within a, sort of, a laptop, or something like that. The LED indicators help for accurate settings and use within a darkened live setting.
You've got an EQ that's right here in a low-mid-high with sweepable mids and sweepable lows, and sweepable highs. So, you've got a full parametric EQ, as well as a 3-band compressor. And then, of course, you've got a separate reverb delay engine. Now, on top of all that is two independent physical sound processors in there. And this is where this thing just, like, blows anything out there, that I'm aware of, out of the water, for just ease of use and high fidelity sound.
There are also two assignable modulation wheels and a traditional pitch-bend that Roland's are normally equipped with, just in case you didn't have enough control surfaces!
We've got something called zone effects. Now, so, these are independent sound effect engines which you can apply to your first four patches within a program. And so, you've got modulation effects engine, which is very easy to pick, and then you've got a tremolo effects engine, which is also easy to pick, plus, an amp simulator on top of that. So, if you want to take something like a vintage 1975 EP, and you wanna add a little bit of amp, kind of, grunge to it. So, we're gonna pick...we're gonna turn the amp simulator on.
That's the clean. So, that's very easy to get to, and it's super easy to save either in its own program or scene, which is something I'm gonna touch on right now.
So, we've got independent effects which you can apply to the first four assignable zones, tons and tons. I mean, way too much to get into a review, but you just got to play around with it. Then you've got full assignable controls, avlo [SP] controls, reverb, and EQ, very, very easy, nice tactile ways to quickly edit those on the fly within a gig. We've got the fader bars which can be used to mix a program, internal and external sounds, also functioning as tone bars for the organ stuff. Very easy access for your patches over here, which is great. Some basic playback of audio through the USB.
Live Sets / Scene Functionality
So, let's cover one of my favorite things about the RD2000, which is scene functionality. Now, when are you gonna use this? Realistically, live performance is where this is gonna come in the most handy. Let's say you get called for a gig, or a show, or anything where you're gonna have to be doing quite a bit of quick changing between programs and patches, you've got 2 sets, 3 sets, and you've got 15, 20 songs that you're gonna have to create some fairly layered programs for, specific sounds that the MD wants, whatever it is. Yes, sure, you can take a fresh 20 programs, build the whole thing so it's nicely in order, or you could do what the RD2000 has intended, which is to use the scene functionality. So, this is how it works.
Essentially, as you pull up a program that you've built for another show, or it doesn't even matter what order it is, you're tweaking it to just be perfect for this show, and you're like, "Okay, that's gonna be song number one." Well, you pick a scene bank, let's say, bank zero, bank one, wherever you've got a nice, fresh slate, and you're gonna say, "Okay, that's scene number one, bank one." And that basically becomes the first tune of that set. And that's literally the press of two buttons and it immediately takes a snapshot of everything you've just setup and it saves it all to a single button. That is a huge time saver, massive time saver for setting up a gig, because then you can also have a pedal which simply advances through your scenes. So, as you're going through the sets, it's like, boom, scene one, boom, scene two. It's really phenomenal, this has saves me hours, and hours, and hours of time in setting up for gigs.
Scene functionality is available on some other instruments, but I've never seen it quite set up, like, as easy and as straightforward as on the Roland, that captures as many parameters as the scene function captures on the Roland.
Features: Ports & Connectivity, Keyboard Stand
The RD-2000 features a suite of options for wiring into virtually any professional setting you could imagine. That includes being able to use it as a USB Audio Interface (whah!?!), running balanced XLR outputs without the need for DI boxes, independent 1/4" main outs and sub outs for ultimate flexibility, USB type A and USB type B ports for firmware updates and expansions, and of course the requisite ports for headphones.
The RD-2000 also is available with a matching stand, similar to the V-Piano, although a good Z-style from Profile or Hercules also does the trick quite nicely. In terms of portability, it's surprisingly mobile...not light by any means, but I've lugged far worse around in the form of a Fantom 8, or a Yamaha Motif. It's manageable and totally usable for regular gigging.
The piano comes with the DP-10 damper pedal, which is sturdy and highly usable. But if you want more foot-triggers or a true 3-pedal playing experience, the RPU-3 is also compatible with the RD2000.
Overall Playability
So, just to sum it all up, the RD2000, as a digital stage piano, for me, delivers virtually everything that I look for in a stage piano. As I said, this is what I've been using personally, and will even maybe throw in some footage of me using this on a couple of stages around town. It's delivering a great action, we've got a scatement with ivory touch on top with a wood core, it feels very authentic. You've got V-piano technology in here with plenty of parameters so that you can get a really nice, clean, customized acoustic piano sound. Really great electric piano engine as well to cover both the vintage-y stuff as well as the '80s and '90s stuff. Some great, like, you know, DX7 sounds in there. Clav. We've got the organ functionality, which has been really well considered with your tone bars. And then, of course, overall, we've got over a thousand tones packed in here right off the shelf. Easy program creator with the mixer functionality. We've got nice, intuitive physical controls for your envelope, your EQ, your assignable controls. And of course, it's in a really, kind of, a cool package. I love the look of the instrument, and even though it's not the lightest machine, it's probably one of the lightest stage pianos that I've ever had to lug around anywhere.
So, if you're in the market for something like this where you're gonna need onboard sound, you're gonna need a really great action, and potentially something where you're gonna be using it both on stage with also some studio use, give the RD2000 a chance. Head into a showroom somewhere, or, you know, a music shop, and sit down, experience it, play it, have fun with it. And, of course, please leave me some comments, let me know what you thought of the review. I hope it's been helpful. Good luck with your shopping, and we'll see you around next time.
