kalimero,

I'm amazed at the high prices you have to pay...doesn't seem fair.

I use the S900, not for the money it saves me (which is a nice benefit) but for its portability....and it has most of the features of the Tyros2.

I like the action better than the Tyros2 as well...don't care much for semi-weighted keys...I'm a bit of an extremist as I like 88 weighted hammer for my piano playing, and a fly weight 61 key action for arranger but, ultimately it is me I am trying to please.

I don't like semi-weighted for piano...not enough resistance to dig into, but it sure seems to work for some.

The PA-500 seems a great value for the money and the main piano demo I heard is very nice...perhaps you could get a 76-note controller later on to expand the range as the Korgs seem to have good MIDI specs.

I'll be interested to hear your views on the Korg when you get it...we don't see them too much in my area.
