Another example if I may.. My Roland Fantom G7 76 key PRO level workstation with a LARGER LCD and with better resolution than the Tyros3 LCD, a REAL Sampler, 24 track Audio Recorder plus an additional 128 tracks of MIDI recording, an XLR Mic input, S/PDIF Digital I/0, USB 2.0, outstanding Sequencer with Micro editing, built like a SHERMAN TANK with an all aluminum metal housing, MIDI over USB "2.0" , Sonar LE included with purchase, and I could go on and on and on and on and on and on.... >> How much did I pay for priveledge of owning that puppy?? How does $2,499 sound? Truth.. straight up. In fact GC had the Fantom G on sale again this past weekend for the same price if anybody was fortunate enough to snag one.

EXCELLENT POINT MAN! Hell the Motif XS8 costs $3199 an it's freakin 10 times more keyboard than the Tyros3 is. Plus 88 GH keys! Four grand for a Tyros is freakin INSANE!
