Stein,
It's hard to post an opinion. Here's some of my thoughts though.....
Both keyboards have really good sounds. The articulated voices on the Tyros2 and the RX voices and velocity switched voices on the Korg are similar. Both would be rated very good on my part.
The styles on the Yamaha range from fair to outstanding. The Korg Styles are in the same company.
The sequencer in the Korg totally beats the Yamaha. It is the same sequencer found in the Trition and all the way back to the M1 days. Yamaha's sequencer has been discussed here alot. It's just OK.
The Korg includes built in great sounding speakers....Yamaha has none.
The Korg allows users to sample with time-streching if needed. Yamaha doesn't allow you to sample in the keyboard, only load from computer.
The vocal harmonizer in the Korg I think is easier to achive really amazing results. I think the Yamaha is not of this level.
The Tyros2 can record as a hard disk recorder and the Korg cannot.
The Tyros2 and the Korg can both have built in Hard Drives but do not come with one and both have USB ports, the Korg has 2 of them which are 2.0 speed.
I think the unplugged styles on the Korg hands down wins the competition.
The Yamaha interface is very easy to navigate, the Korg is easy once you get used to it. Korg has improved this navigation with the new "easy mode" setting.
I really find it hard to get into the "I like this piano better than this piano" because it is very subjective which each one of us likes. I can only say both Yamaha and Korg have two really great keyboards here.
The Yamaha is built in Japan, the Korg is built in Italy. Yamaha comes with a 1 year warranty, Korg comes with a 2 year warranty.
Yes, I'm very excited about the Korg because it gives my customers so much of what has been wanted.......Light Weight, good onboard speakers, good polyphony (120), solid styles with great intro's and endings, sampling on board, and a very reasonable price for all this.
