I am not having a personal stab at anyone here, I wish to throw in my input on this topic. Although I do not post alot on this forum, I definitely read alot of posts everyday and know whats happening in the arranger world.

I truly beleive people judge keyboards in too much depth by their "features" over the sound quality. Features of coarse are important, but at the end of the day you are playing a keyboard to make music to be heard and enjoyed. doesnt matter what features the G70 or G1000 may have over the Tyros 2, if you close your eyes and listen to them being played, the tyros is much more pleasing to the ears in all genres.

Nothing yet has been released to say "yes that definitely makes the T2 sound dated".

by all means choose the keyboard that suits yourself and your own playing style, but to say that the G70 is a "better" keyboard than the Tyros 2, I have to say, thats a very broad comment and leaves yourself wide open for arguement.

If Tyros 2 had sliders and 76 keys with its existing setup and sound engine it would by far be the ultimate keyboard for a long time hands down with no competition at all!
