I miss the M1 too. It is and always will be a great classic. I don't know..., I guess I just get frustrated with the battle of "keyboard power" here on the forum some times. It's almost like the "mine's bigger than yours" game.

What works for one person doesn't always work well for the other. What sounds great to others may not sound so hot to ssome. Is the T2 a good board? That along with just about every topic we talk about here is "subjective". After being a member here for several years now I've come to the conclusion that the Zone can at times be extremely biased towards Yamaha. Some people here are quite sensitive and the moment you say anything negative about Yamaha you can get verbally assaulted by either email or replies on the forum. I've talked to numerous forum members who also said they feel they have to watch what they say about Yamaha.

Personally I think Yamaha arrangers are some of the most "overhyped" keyboards out there. Their styles are (in my opinion) quite cheezy and just down right blahhhhh. They rip the buyers off when it comes to construction quality, and still have the nerve to ask $1,500 for a keyboard with the same build quality of a $200 Casio. However these are my opinions. Some may agree some may not. The bottom line is were all here for one reason. To learn from one another and to share our experiences and ides so that we ALL as a WHOLE can grow.

Anyways sorry to rant.
