With the PSR3000, Yamaha has practically gobbled up the mid-range market, leaving the Pa1XPRO at the top end for a few serious musicians and the less than $200 toy range for Casio.

While I must agree that the 3000 is a tremendous value for the dollar, to say it is essentially a Tyros is not exactly true. The Tyros has more polyphony, more sounds, more styles, more sound memory, hard drive, better keys, three right-hand voices available, lighted buttons, huge tilt-adjustable color display, more footswitch options, more dedicated operator buttons, more e.q. options, assignable aux outputs, more pedal inputs, mic trim where you can reach it, and much more.
Also, the PA1XPro is certainly not alone at the top. The Ketron SD1, Tyros, General Music Gynesys (can't spell it) and maybe the new Roland G70 all can make valid arguments for top-of-line status.
Also the Casio WK3500 fills a BIG hole at $399.
