Forget the keyboard amp. Mackie SRMs, RFC ARTs or EVs are the better choice.

I'm very fond of aftertouch. I wonder how sensitive it will be on the Kronos 61 compared to the Kronos 73/88. I've had a Prophet 08, and it's aftertouch was extremely sensitive, which I like. :)

Try to demo a Korg M3-61 or M3-73. The Kronos-61 uses the same keybed, and I'd wager that it also uses the same aftertouch strip.

I can't vouch for how sensitive the M3's AT is relative to other synths, but I can vouch for it being highly controllable. If you set the curve correctly for your style, it scales up nice and smooth, with no noticeable jumps in value.
