Ian..I respectfully disagree...how is that for holiday spirit..

Semi weighted is not a compromise...it is a design...meaning better resistance and a more solid feel...fully weighted..originally was a term for counter balanced weights..

Also i would not put the G70 key-bed and the Tyros key-beds in the same category...the Tyros is still undersized and a less desirable feel to me...Korg PA1x and MediaStation do share the same stage in key feel...

As for 88 keys..I am not sure I ever touched the top half octave or lower half octave..other than glissando's...

Ian even your P 85 is a semi weighted key bed...no matter how Yamaha describes it "graded action"...It also suffers from under size keys....although a better key feel than the lower model N-30...

Also after touch is not noticeable unless you want it to do a function on the G70...Me..I want it ..when I need it...

Here is another suggestion for "piano players" get out and try the new Roland "ivory" key-beds...It is as close as you can get ...to a real piano (acoustic)..

The competition lags behind in this department...As an "old" accordion player..semi weighted lights my fire...

Another side note...As we all remembered the Yamaha DX-7 was the ideal keyboard to play..quality key-bed.....In today's world after playing my G70 ..even the E-60....The DX-7 is the same less desirable feel of the Tyros2....

I will still save my mint DX-7 with E....so my great great grandchildren can sell it ( along with my Roland cubes)..down the road...but...play it...NOT!!!
