Frankie,
The Tyros is the easiest to use that I ever had. That's typical of Yamaha, though.
I think the Korg will have to really be a winner to make me shell out those kind of bucks for it. Remember - this is just my studio controller, not my live rig. I won't take anything out without speakers again. Too much wasted time on the small jobs.
( gigs )hee hee....

As for keeping it...... don't bet on it. I have no love affair going, and it's just a set of black & whites at the moment. I DO like having the newest stuff here when clients come to record. It makes me look like I have friends in high places.

Based on what I've heard so far between the 9kPRO vs the Tyros:

key action - Pro
sounds - even
styles - Ty(3x the styles)
control - even (edge to Ty for fillins)
expandability - Pro - no contest
Looks - tough...jury's still out
Mic/harm - seems to be even
Size - Pro has better use of real estate
weight - Duh ....... TY !!!!

One voice I'm very disapointed with is the clarinet. I loved the voice on the Korg, the Ketron and the Roland....but Yamaha has a strange treatment of this sound. And what's REALLY weird is that I PLAY a Yamaha clarinet ! I have a Yamaha flute also.
(I used to be a woodwind player before keys became more important) I love their orchestral instruments, just can't figure why I can't buddy up to the clarinet sound in the keyboards. Hmmmm.
