AJ,
The T2 may or may not be for you, but boy I bet it would be very fun and gratifying converting those PA80 styles to the T2. I'm sure other's would be very interested in those styles as well. I've installed a hard disk and my style collection and I've been slowly trying out converted styles from many other keyboards I've accumulated over the years. Talk about fun. Also, you might want to check out those custom voices that Steve Demming posted on the arrangerworkstation.com forum for the T2. There are some very nice Synth voices on there which really add a new dimension to the Tyros. So far, I haven't run into any dead-ends with the T2 and I am more than satisfied.
Regards,
Al

Maybe I'm next. The thing has great sounds based on what I'v heard so far. I'm thinking I'd miss 40 or so of the PA80 styles, and some of the superb synth voices, but not so much else. I think I used to be fairly handy at converting them, so I'd at least wanna give it a fair shot.
I'm leaning toward the T2 again too. I played the AJ2006 arranger live the other night. It's very easy to actually play and change variations, so it worked fine. The lead voices are incomparable, but I still haven't found an all in one GM solution for the styles, and navigating to change styles and voices isn't as intuitive as using a hardware arranger. I'm thinking about the time I might spend making a new and higher quality soundfont, I could probably work enough OT in that time spent doing that to actually pay for a Tyros 2, and then since I bring the laptop everywhere anyway, so I can still setup B4 for better organs, and a couple of analog softsynths, etc for the highest quality of lead voices.
