George,
You are spot on. I really cant understand why Yamaha employ a similar pattern of styles for their PSR series. I mean, some of those styles i sware are from the PSR2700 of old and were carried through to the PSR7000, then the PSR8000 and now in a 4 variation form on the PSR9000. I really just cant understand it, and this is where Solton have pulled away and actually restructured thier styles so that they are marginally different from previous Solton, not to mention far more professional.
People who have not experienced Yamaha before will obviously be delighted and impressed with the PSR9000 and rightly so. But someone like me, who started on Yamahas a long time ago and become a fan of theirs, but over the years it was just getting all too familiar especially with the styles.
Again i stress, I am not putting the keyboard down, but its all too familiar from Yamaha!
