Probably not for me either Gary, but perhaps it'll be a wait and see for me, much like the PA1x deal. There may be a few new features that would make me want this more than a Tyros "classic", or a 3000 but it's also a little steep for me for an arranger, for as much use as I'll get out of it.

I do like the USB to midi, works great with the Motif ES, but it certainly isn't a must for me on a board that won't see much studio use. New and more realistic styles sounds nice, I guess we can judge that later. Better key action sounds good, I'm guessing maybe like the Motif series boards.

I couldn't care less about the internet connection or sampling, pretty much a waste of money for me on an arranger. I rarely use the sampling facilities in the Motif, as I much prefer a dedicated sampler. I don't care much about the video facilities, might be nice for some of you guys though. I can already play the megavoices on the Motif, but I also have vst apps that work better for playing similar multisampled parts, Real Guitar for example. I'd probably never use the CD / Audio option, though some live players might like it for capture of a performance.
