Rikki I had an SD1 for a short period of time..

Frankie, I still play a G1000.

Yes I compared them but not side by side..
I always felt the same as your opinion..

The Tyros does not match up in the sound dept..

Sure the Tyros does have exceptional sounds, but only a few in my mind..

I would rather have a Ketron over a Yamaha in the sound area..
