Starkeeper, I share your hopes and wishes about the 3K replacement but if it had 76 keys and Super Articulated voices that would be a poor marketing decision because it would outsell the Tyros 2.

On the other hand, the 3K+ has not been announced yet and there are usually 6 months interval between anncoucement and release date of Yamaha keyboards. I was left with the impression that Mr. Mustard wants a keyboard now.

My advice is to go for whichever top keyboard you like. Try out the sounds and styles and make your decision.

Also, you can listen to our contributed songs to see what can be done with the different models. There is plenty of information on the SZ to help you make your mind.
