Scott,
I will not buy a Tyros, because I am quite happy with my actual arranger. So I have nothing against YAMAHA. Actually, all my YAMAHA Gear is an old CS01 synth.

But, please, evaluate two things very carefully

1) If someone will tell me that its software is bug free... well, I'll go to buy another one, 'cause this guy is trying to screw me.
Software cannot be free of bugs, even because a software bug can arise due to an hardware failure.

2) The OS update question is unacceptable, because the time needed, the file size and the risk of a crash. If I properly understand, if the OS update procedure will be interrupted, the board should be send to YAMAHA for chip replacing. Now you know that AC failure is just one of an infinite row of update procedure interrruption: PC hardware failure, TYROS hardware failure, bad cable, bad cable insertion, PC software failure, TYROS software failure....

But, finally, point #2 is not so important: if TYROS OS is bug free, why will you need an OS update?

Ciao
Riccardo
