I received my fire sale PE as well -- probably a big pile of them arrived yesterday -- and it's just adorable, even more so with its DecalGirl "composition book" skin. (My EE has a black, white, and red plaid skin at the moment, so I'm all set for sixth grade now.) I was half-sorry to cover it up since the PEs have a little sparkle in the piano black. It seems a tad faster in its responses than the EE, but that may be an optical illusion based on everything being closer together and thus easier to smack.
