Or am I getting cynical 
No Paul, you're just providing a dose of reality.

That is one of the big drawbacks on the PSR 2000/2100, ie., "the lack of sufficient storage space".
The big drawback on the Tyros imo is the lack of internal speakers.

Especially for a 61 Key Arranger. If it had 76 Keys I might be able to understand why it wouldn't have internal speakers, ie., "weight concerns"-and lack of sales because of it. But in this age of high tech products and Space Age materials, I also think that they could add great sounding internal speakers to a 76 Key or even an 88 Key Arranger and still make it to where it would be reasonably easy to transport- "Probably not for most women, but I would say 80% if not more of all Keyboard Players are Men. Come on Guys-'Suck it Up'. A little exercise never hurt anybody.

Someday maybe they will, but don't hold your breath till it happens. It seems all Keyboard Manufacturers are years behind in terms of providing a lot of today's technology in their Keyboard products. A good example is Firewire and/or USB 2.0. Another is SD or Smart Media--at least on Yammie's Keyboards anyway.

So getting them to make a 76 or 88 Key Arranger with great sounding internal speakers that is fairly light and transportable is probably several years down the road, if at all. PS: I hope I'm wrong and the "if at all" won't figure into the equation.
