This new S-900 has sparked my interest. Yes, yes, I know "Squeak's a Roland guy". One of the first things that stood out to me in the pic was "no more cheap plastic painted buttons". I also think the overall design is pretty sharp compared to the PSR-3000.

When the S-900/700 are released, I'll make my decision as to which one I will buy--I will say the S-900 having some SA voices puts it in the lead for me.

Everyone here knows I do a lot of hip hop and so forth, but I also do orchestral/classical (roots were actually in classical music), and I also enjoy film score, and other traditional styles... I have always felt Yamaha has had very strong orchestral voices and like them very much.

Regardless of which S model I buy it won't be used for anything modern... I'll use it strictly for traditional styles (which is what the PSR's are best for anyways).
