Even though I'm unhappy with the sparse improvements on the PSR S900, I will be purchasing two of them.

I make my living performing. This is how I support my family. The two PSR3000s that I own are getting a lot of wear and tear. They'll be three years old.

So first, I cannot afford to have a keyboard fail on an important job. A newer keyboard is less likely to fail. Right now, I have a PSR3000 in the shop because one of the style variation buttons is failing.

Second, I am competing against a lot of great performers here in the Chicago area. If the PSR S900 will bring me any edge that can translate into $$, then it's a necessary investment.

I had decided against getting the Tyros II because it is 1) too expensive and 2) doesn't have onboard monitors.

The reason I am going to buy two PSR S900s is that I need to have one in my office/studio and one in the trunk of my car. This way, I can transfer settings and registrations that I create in my studio via a pen drive.

If the PSR S900 is missing any other important things, which I doubt, then I might change my mind. I might consider another keyboard brand.

Some of the questions I have about the specs are

1. What are the names of the new voices.
2. What are the names of the new styles?
3. Is the flash drive larger than the PSR3000's? If not, that really sucks as the PSR S900 will not have a Smart Media drive.
4. Did Yamaha bring back the Vocal Harmonizer On/Off, Effects On/Off, and Voice Harmony On/Off buttons?
5. As I recall, the PSR3000 had a 90 warranty on labor! Will the PSR S900 have a better warranty?
