Tonemaster, if the use of styles is very important to you, then you must audition the Korg by yourself and see if you are happy with the fills and short endings (or the lack of short endings). If you are happy with those, then I think that Korg is a great pro keyboard that is worth bying and it has some features that are superior to Tyros (e.g. ability to trigger program changes on external modules while playing style parts , MP3 player, etc). Sounds are subjective... But, if you feel like the styles are not very user friendly and a lot of additional programming will be needed, then Korg is not for you. One thing about Yamaha styles is that even if they do not always have a "live" feel, the fills transition very smoothly and ALL styles have a short ending, so you can end the song quickly. Korg does a great job on their new styles. They have a better "live band" sound IMO. I just wish that they cleaned up all the styles and programmed the short endings as well. Good luck.
