I agree Fran.., but in the end it's all about profits. Look at the dough Yamaha rakes in with the Tyros line. Your upgrade is the new model.
We give Dom hell about the MS, but at the core his concept IS the future of keyboard sales. Dom's having issues getting that point out probably because his concept is about 20 years ahead of its time.
**Once upon a time "seatbelts" were ahead of their time..., and those who we considered "educated and intelligent" decision makers said that a car that requires the occupants to be restrained is "unsafe". How many lives were lost before we realized how very wrong they were?
The day is coming for keeping your current board and paying less to upgrade, but we're not anywhere near that yet. Too much money still to be made on buying the next and greatest arranger or workstation. In 20 years Dom's going to be smoking a fat ass stogey and laughing at us all
