Nimrod...I have just returned from a Keyboard \ Organ Festival on the East Coast UK. The Yam Rep says the 2000 contains the same board as the CVP209 £5000 UK, but with less memory and software. The PSR2000 is already available here in the shops and is very good value. As stated in the above comments it lacks memory of the 9000 & Pro but it has features that these 2 do not have. ..The most important to me is a Midi File Score can be shown and scrolls across the screen, so you can have melody & chords viewed or any track can be viewed. When I enquired about it displaying the chord symbols which are not normally available from a Midi file, I was told that the later Yamaha Songs & Tune1000 Midi files now include the chords symbols. The 2000 lacks aftertouch which I am used to using on my Roland

Regarding waiting for the PSR10000, Yamaha could not be persuaded to acknowledge when it would be available but when I mentioned NOVEMBER 2002 they just smiled. If its based on the CVP209 it will contain a very large colour screen and may be priced between £2500 to £3000 UK Pounds.
