"Is piano voice another reason to upgrade to Tyros (paying like 2 and half PSR2000 for it)?"

If this were the only criteria for upgrading probably not. However there are alot of new features on the Tyros that other boards do not have or at the very least Tyros has done differently. While other boards may have similar to "mega voices" Tyros is different, because it is done the way Yammy does them. The color screen that is tiltable, music registration, music finder, the way the fills intros and endings work. While all boards share some things in common, they all do it differently and sound differently.

Is it worth $3K? Probably not, but I'm not sure I am convinced any board is worth any of the prices they get for them. The bottom line though, is that is what it costs if you want one (which I do) so each has to make their own decision as to relative value of any of these boards and whether or not we're willing to spend what it costs to buy in.

All the pros and cons posted so far is really all of us thinking out loud trying to convince ourselves as to whether the Tyros is worth it or not. For some it is for some it is not.

For those that just post to be nay sayers, I believe that is just them convincing themselves that the board they own is the right board, or are just sick of Tyros this and Tyros that......which I think they should be a bit more supportive of those that are excited about getting this new board, because their turn will come around when their cool new board comes out and they'll want us to be happy and supportive of them in their choice too, rather than just a bunch of negatives, just to be negative.
jam on,
