rgta,
Well, I hesitated to mention my friends, except that I was responsible for their both buying the 2K, and for the past 4 weeks I've been playing one of them 4 nights a week, 5 hours a night, so I can personally attest to their condition.
I don't have a real position or agenda on the 2K reliability, just reporting.

I'm getting rid of mine for the reasons already stated: (1) I have a change to sell at a decent price (2) I get a new one about every year (3) I am very disappointed in Yamaha for the OS fiasco and the lack of support on the vocal harmony issue and no longer want to support them.
I must agree though, the students should be counted, even though they probably peck lightly with their little fingers. My friends have hammers for hands and are both converted bass players.
