Donny. What had me so baffled is that you'd spent so much "time and energy" actively promoting the Ketron Midjay as the best 'live stage' arranger keyboard solution out there above the competition, as well as telling me that I really should've purchased the Ketron Midjay instead of the T2, yet at the same time, emphasizing that it's one's keyboard chops, and entertainer skills that truly count most. That being the case, I'd expected your relatively new Midjay with 76 note Roland kb controller to more than satisfy your live performance needs for a long time to come.

Donny: Exactly what is it about your Midjay you're not completely satisfied with? What are you hoping to get from Tyros/Tyros2 that you're not getting from your Midjay setup now?

As I'm sure everyone here would predict, I continue to enjoy playing & recommend the Tyros2, but Donny, I wouldn't want YOU to purchase one, and then a month later, find something you don't like about it too. I really think you need to do some deep soul searching to find out the real reason you're suddenly wanting to switch keyboards now, because as you said yourself, no keyboard can cover for musicianship talent, chops, and entertainment skills, of which are only gained thru blood sweat & practice, and experience (or paying one's dues as they say). Just my thoughts from one pro musician buddy to another. Wishing you the best of luck in whatever you decide. - Scott
