I look forward to reviewing it but realize my bias. I played with the PA2x for a few months and went to work and demoed CVPs and PSR900s, Then came home and played the Korg. I just could not get past the over processed sounds of the Korg. The drum brushes sounded like white noise. The Yamaha sounded so much better more polished (which is exactly what many DON'T like about it)

Based on the T2 anyway, It is far easier to operate (mostly because it's not trying to be everything to everyone)It has far less features but what it does have it does extremely well and in my opinion better than the Korg.

All I want is great sounds lots of styles the ability to send information to and from Cakewalk Sonar and some sampling capability. I don't need cross fading MP3 Players, Phantom powered XLR Mike Inputs ( I use a Joe Meek Preamp and run it straight into the Computer)and the Bose LT1 system live. So both onboard microphone inputs on the keyboards are useless for us in both situations.

I fully expect The T3 will cover even more bases than the T2 (including some albeit short throw fader controllers). The included HD will be great for scratch vocals or stereo mixes. I like that each voice in a style can have its own DSP processor. That should make it less flat and more live sounding when needed.

The computer does most of the work for me at home and we have a couple 88 key controller Pianos so I would not buy a 76 key Tyros even if it were available. We also prefer external stand alone harmony vocalizers to Both the Tyros and Korgs internals. Primarily because we can use the guitar as an input as well as the MIDI.
