All good points Donny..., and there's no harder hit keyboard player IMO in this area who really get's hit harder in the pocket than the arranger player.

I still don't see the value in a T2-T3 upgrade. Maybe if you still have a T1 or someone going from a 3000 or 900 to the T3 I think would make more sense (in terms of cost weighed against features).

Sadly arranger players have been taking a hard pocket hit for years. A brand spanking new Yamaha Motif XS6 only cost $2199.., hell the 88 key Motif XS still costs less than the Tyros 3.

Maybe it's just customer base, but I'm fairly certain that Yamaha would get quite a verbal whippin from Motif customers if a Motif XS6 costs $3800
