Thanks Abacus for your input - having everything including the kitchen sink is more me , ... a lot of the appeal too is the wider choice of styles and IDC , the G70 has served me well (it's the only keyboard i actually kept for more than a year - over 3 now!)

However ... I thought the dealer was offering me an exchange for £600 , but having chatted he was offering £600 for my keyboard leaving £1800 for a new tyros

(Although i prefer the specs of the Tyros 2 , the Roland is in the same league and not worth that kind of money - so i'll just be patient and wait for the Tyros 3 or G80)

The p/x deals seem to be v. poor these days!

Cheers
