SK880 User: Are you certain you gave the 21K a true test? I had a 740, 9000, 2000 and now a 2100 (at least temporarily). There are a couple of styles on the 740 they left off, but it's a simple matter to put them on the 21K. To my ears, many of the sounds are the same, but the 2100 seems to be a clear winner on many others. The new Sweet Harmonica, Jazz Guitars, Slide Guitar, and several Organs really kick!
On the styles carried over from the 740, Yamaha has, IMO, improved them quite a bit by subtle changes in instrumentation, balance and effects.
The vocal processor and harmonizer are tons better than the 740. The only thing I miss from the 740 is the keypad.
Just curious, because your observation was truly shocking to me, and I always value your opinions.

P.S. Almost forgot--I played the Tyros for several hours. I feel the hard drive capability, improved drums, mega voices, big screen, etc., etc. are well worth the difference in price. But I still can't afford one right now!
