Pro
I think you might be correct that the 9K pro may in fact become a sought after item for premium prices.

Expandability, 76 keys, scats, all of which were dropped on the Tyros could make the 9k pro a much sought after board.

I believe at least with my experience with Yamaha (who I am a big time fan of) they have the tendency to come out with the new with some very cool stuff, but at the expense of dropping some of the previous cool items off the predecessor model, rather than building further on what they have.

I see this very clearly with both the Tyros over the 9K & Pro and also with the MoES over the Mo classic.

This is really a bad habit of theirs that they should break IMO. The problem being one is not really upgrading fully on what they have, instead we are trading these features for those features and from a buyers point of view, it then becomes a bigger buying decision of do I want to give this up to get that.
