I hear you Mark! Look, it could be worse, we could be drummers here - or tuba players.

On the other hand, look at it this way. Why inconvenience yourself when you don't have to?

Another thing is this: I want to be doing this gigging into my retirement age. I can see packing up a keyboard like a PSR-S900 and two JBL Eon10 G2's when I'm 65. I cannot see packing up a Fender Rhodes and a PA system when I am that age. Add to the equation that I am 140lbs - albeit very healthy, but no Adonis.

I think that the Tyros 2 is a very reasonable weight, but when you're doing 500 + gigs, the PSR-S900 might be a better choice - especially if you are setting up monitors every time.

I think that if you are doing fewer - higher paying gigs - like this fellow on SZ I was talking to who is very busy doing 2hr. children shows at $600 a pop, if I were in his shoes, I would definitely get two Tyros' instead of two PSR-S900s.
