I have never seen a Tyros, there are none to see locally. I do hear a lot about them on this Forum. Generally I think the Yamaha's have a reputation for not being user friend which Technic's excels at. I certainly wouldn't buy one without seeing and hearing it. I don't carry for the speaker setup with the Tyros. I have some Yamaha speakers I use with my keyboards but do like internal speakers as well. I'm very impressed with the organ sounds on the KN7000. The Technic's is the first keyboard that has what I consider good organ sounds.

I played Roland for years, then switched to Technic's a couple of years ago. I'm very impressed with them. I love the sounds, and the ease of use.

For some reason no one carries the Yamaha arrangers locally. The store that has the francise only has the small Yamaha's in stock. I assume they think they don't have a market for them. They had the PSR350 in stock and are ordering the PSR 550 for me. They tried to talk me in to the 350 instead. Maybe after I play with the PSR550 I'll decide I like Yamaha better who knows.

I'm buying the PSR550 because of the light weight.

I'm very curious about the Tyros because I know several that have both the KN7000 and the Tyros, and a couple of people that traded their KN7000 on a Tyros.
