three thousand dollars for an instrument that is not going to be played? I have trouble convincing myself to spend that kind of money on something I'll play! If ever there was a case of overkill....! I'd go for the midi player, midjay for instance, and if need be, a cheapo keyboard to just have sitting there. And if you want all in one, why still a tyros 2? If you're triggering midis, you're not going to get the best bang out of your buck with the super articulation or megavoices because they have to be played in a certain way to make work, and a GM midi file will not do them much justice. SO why would you not be better off going for a cheaper PSR?

IF the tyros 2 is going to be recommended to everyone, even those who don't play keyboard, how can people really wanting opinions about keyboards expect to get a fair assessment and fair opinions? "tyros 2" just the automatic pat answer to any keyboard query?
I've got nothing against tyros2, in fact I'm really thinking about owning one to add to my studio setup for doing mockups and probably live in certain occasions as well.
