All my playing is instrumental music...no vocals.

Great solo voices are essential to me...so are built in speakers(convenient for set up at home)and a light weight/size( I use a small car for gear).

I LOVED the SA voices on the Tyros2...the Sax and guitars were especially awesome.

What I did not love was the price and the weight/size...the fiddly(and poor quality) add on speakers were not favorites, either.

The 3k is perfect for MY needs...the PSR-S900 sounds even more perfect.

A new keyboard with fresh sounds and styles always gives me a musical lift...and that gets passed on to my audience.

I realize there were some features removed...they weren't that important to me, although they will matter to others.

BUT, if removing those features allowed the addition of the new SA voices and still kept the price the same as the 3k, then I'm all for it.
