My perception ( and of course.. that's what it is, a perception ), is that Yamaha doesn't market the PSR's toward professionals who make a living at playing music, and that we are a scant few in their overall marketing scheme. Perhaps the majority of the users, in their mindset, are the home players looking to have something that's a step up from the WK series and low end PSR boards.

My perception may very well be completely inaccurate, but I've drawn it based upon my experiences with Yamaha along conversations with others including dealers who sell their products and deal with Yamaha reps.
