squeak puts I've talked to several T2 owners who bought the unit soley because of the SA voices. Which didn't surprise me either, because Yammie used a lot of the T2's promo focused around the SA voices--it was a sales hook

One hell of a good sales hook then m8 because the SA sounds are just as good as they promised and the demos Yamaha originally posted, rather than some of the usual bull you see and hear from the arranger manufacturers before public release.
