Well, my only reason for bringing it up in the first place was to put forth that a mono recording of tyros 2 might not suffice to make an opinion against stereo versions of other synths, be they newer or older. Also, (and please everybody don't take this the wrong way) but maybe that's why some people like the newer boards and some people don't. If mono sound and stereo sound isn't immediately apparent to some people, or maybe even most people, then it would make sense why they are not necessarily impressed with the new stereo sampled sounds on keyboards. For me though, and for others too, they make all the difference.
