Even though you asked pro the Q, owning both of the boards, Tyros and ES, thought I would chime in with my thoughts, hope you don't mind.

I have several questions to ask:

1) If one does not tweak any sound but uses only factory sounds, what advantage does Motif ES (other than the keyboard feel) over Tyros? I am selecting Tyros here for comparison because they share the sounds.

Although they do share some sounds between the two, the ES has an entire different set of more cutting edge sounds also. Likewise the Tyros has alot of mellower sounds that the ES does not have. Perhaps one could be made to sound like the other if they did quite a bit of tweaking on either.

2) Does the phraze factory functionality offer anything that an arranger (say Tyros) will not be able to do so?

The phrase factory is a few things combined, arps, remix, and pattern sequencing make up the phrase factory. Besides 1700 + arps, there are 700+ drum patterns, then all of those can be remixed from/to several hundred if not thosand different variations.

3) You already own PSR9Kpro. Do you see an advantage in sounds?

Compared to the Tyros as I mentioned there is an entire set of new sounds. As far as the megas, the arps take the megas to an entirely different level way beyond what the Tyros is or can be done with them.

4) What are any distinctive features for this keyboard that is not in Tyros?

Those things that I have mentioned, plus other things like realtime controls with the knobs to vary what it is you are hearing realtime.

The reason I am asking you this question is because I shopping for a keyboard myself. I know what I want but I need these particular questions answered.
