What confuses me is the HUGE gap in price between the S900 and it's next higher model, the T2. It's basically double...

Now, I like a good keybed action as much as the next guy (if not more! ), and a few more SA voices are nice, but it is VERY hard to come up with a production figure that justifies that doubling of cost... What on earth in the T2 is worth TWO S900's? It certainly isn't the sampler. WAY too slow load times, and very little content available. It's not the harmonizer - most think it's very similar...

The thing is, for all the Yamaha apologizers, here is a hole in Yamaha's pricing structure that would be perfect to put an arranger in that was a step up from the S900 in construction, keyfeel and a few OS features (and maybe better quality D/A's), but primarily a 'pro' version of an S900, with a 76. Price it about $2500, and it would sit at a grand more than the S900, and a grand less than the T2.

Well out of each existing product's price range. I think that this could be quite a well received product, which wouldn't scavenge existing sales (especially if it were 76 - no sales to scavenge at all in THAT size!). I would definitely consider one...
