Well, I've been gigging for 35 of my 50 years, no reason to slow down now!

Don't want to ruffle too many feathers, just trying to inject a little caution here. The very fact that some of you ADMIT to buyer's remorse should slow you down a bit.

Just one more question.. if you CAN play the piano, what on earth makes you want to play a 61 note keyboard? There are enough players bemoaning Yamaha's refusal to slap a high quality keybed on a high quality keyboard to make me think I'm not alone here. I would take a MUCH closer look at the Tyros if it had enough keys to play on!

By the way, Roland have only released ONE OS update to the G70 so far (1.04 to 1.10), mostly to fix the 'Band-In-A- Cathedral' voicing approach by the European programmers. They are about to release a new OS (2.0) that add several brand new features to the keyboard (including a Guitar Mode completely new to the instrument) as well as many requested features and bug-fixes. One update by Yamaha to fix a USB problem, but no new functionality? In how many years?

Not to denigrate the Tyros, but also not to denigrate the G70!
