Well you are right about sound and feaures. The thing is, right now it's a little overkill for me after I finish the childrens play I'm doing with it. I mainly play in church for a children's choir and a lot of rehearsals are only 15-20 minutes. I have to carry the keyboard and an amp for this short time. i thought I could use the money I got from the Tyros 2 towards a PA system for band use. BTW I have a Motif es7 to use in band situatiosns. If you're interested in buying it it will be for sale after the weekend of 4/25/08. Thanks for the reply.
