I think you are doing the right thing. You gotta get the keyboard that feels right for you.

The styles as others have said can be downloaded from the net ... x1,psr2000,cvp209,technics,ect... so if it was just styles ... I would think you didn't try them yet! There are lots of styles that are not good on the net too.

As to the layout of keyboard ,it's what you get use to ... the psr9000 was overwhelming for me in the beginning ... but after a couple of weeks I liked it ... and I downloaded MULTIPADS,Registrations,and put in hard drive and sampling memory and 1250 midi's in the 5 banks. There were threads on the psr sytles forum about adjusting the SOUNDS ... from the Bland Factory settings... WOW ... what a difference ... I forget ...they wrote why Yamaha did it that way... but I forgot now... but ... anyway ... Take it BACK and get what you want!

The styles, sounds,ect can all be adjusted but the keyboard layout is gonna stay the same!

The reason I liked the psr9000 was because of the build in speakers and I just plain liked it better after playing the 9000pro in SAM ASH ... so ... I do understand ... you like what you like! End of Story!

P.S. I turned on my psr9000 a few days ago and I thought the sax and other sounds didn't sound right ... I turned it on and off ... and still was upset ... then I looked at the 2 wheels at LEFT of keyboard ... one was resting in upright position ... moved it almost to off... and BIG SMILE came back on my face! AHHHH... SAX sounded good again!
