Donny: There are some new features about Tyros3 I like (sliders, USB2.0, and a few new SA2 voices), but to answer 'your question', coming from a Tyros2 owner who had the opportunity to play a Tyro3 for nearly an entire day in a friend's studio, there were two things I didn't like:

1) T3's Reg Buttons (1-8) are located in the upper octave area of keyboard, making them convienently accessible only with the right hand. Tyros2's Reg buttons (1-8) on the other hand are easily accessed from either right OR left hand because they're located in the Center of the keyboard directly underneath the LCD Screen.

2) LCD Screen: No Brightness/Contrast Control

All said and done, I'm not convinced the upgrade is worth it to me + the custom reg/style song repetoire (1,200+ songs) conversion work (time=$) it would require. I still love playing my Tyros2 afterall.
