I didn't notice he said lite. Sorry if I missed it. AFAIK all the H/H have
Topres but maybe that is just because I never saw a "lite" advertised or
discussed. There are two models shown on Elite Keyboards, both have the
capacitive switches. You get to pay an extra 145 bucks for the "silencing"
feature.

I have no interest other than as a somewhat satisfied customer. They're
expensive but generally sell stuff hard to find elsewhere, and the delivery
is prompt and correct, even overseas.

If Lionel gave me one I'd be happy to use it. Otherwise, for 300 bucks I'd
buy 2 NOS Model Ms. They'll hold their value a lot better and they're plenty
good using keyboards.
