Tyros2 is available at the Guitar Center Store (El Cerrito, California) closest (5 miles) to me.
Interestingly enough, arranger keyboards here in the San Francisco Bay Area, beginning with the Korg PA1X and now even more so with Tyros2, are finally turning the heads of traditional pro keyboard-synth players here. Interestingly enough, even younger players (20 something) are now choosing to purchase Tyros2 & Korg PA1X over their Synth counterpart, because they appreciate the the ease of arranger assisted performance & songwriting. Of course, arranger keyboards now being reviewed (and getting high praise) in the top US keyboard magazine has turned the tide as well, because as recently as 5 years ago, America's leading keyboard magazines: "Keyboard" & "Electronic Musician" refused to review an arranger type keyboard.
Though I've got no official sales records to back this up, the buzz I'm hearing around here is that, with Tyros2 & PA1X, arrangers are for the 1st time being purchased by many more traditional pro Synth & keyboard (as well as younger 20 something) players here. It appears the long overdue respect for arranger keyboards by more traditional pro KB musicians has finally arrived. It's about time
