I have owned tyros1 and have played the psr3000. To me the tyros1 is lightyears better than the psr3000 . Now lets look at all the new stuff in tyros2...100 extra styles..300 readjusted styles. 8 more mega voices. 93 NEW cool,sweet,live sounds, 120 brand new multipads using the mgavoices, 9 live drum kits instead of 5, 42 super articulation sounds, vastly improved keyfeel, stronger frame and buttons, 6 new dsp effects, 4 new chorus,audio recording....and more. I love it. Cant wait to buy one...will be worth every penny
