Either way..., Casio needs to be given a pat on the pack with these new models--and Yamaha a pat on their backs as well. Sure the Casio's have 32 note poly (a bit limited), but last time I check the entire DGX line and the YPG's have 32 note poly as well.

What will really set a definitive line between the Casio's and Yamaha's (in my opinion) is if Casio included midi in/out jacks on the WK-8000, and Privia 575R. The 575R already has a few ups on the YPG. The 575R will allow voice editing, if the 6 track recorder is identical to the WK's it will allow post song editing, and the new Privia even has the WK drawbars

I already told the wife, to expect me to clear a space in the living room for the Privia 575R. I'm willing to bet the Privia model will sell for less than the YPG or right at the same price
