Thank you for your honest reply.

I think that the major issue here for the T3 bashers (including me), is not that its a bad keyboard, but that they missed very important opportunities for this upgrade. With minimal effort, they could have made the T3 the supreme ruler of all arranger boards. That's what I was expecting for the last 3 years, so this is a major, major disappointment. I cannot imagine waiting another 3 years for another incremental change like this, so although I'm thinking of buying the T3, my primary plan is to start weaning off Yamaha.

Based on your answers I assume that you can definitely identify with the disappointment many of us T2 users have with the T3.

(And btw, the guitar mode on Korg is amazing. Whichever keyboard I end up using for performances, I'm still going to use the Korg to make the MIDI guitar tracks even for the Yamaha.)
