Well I finally got me hands on a Tyros 3 this afternoon. I’m just going to go into my thoughts of what I think about the T3 vs T2 vs.S900. There are plenty of other posts on synthzone in the differences between the T2 & T3.

T3 vs T2: I find that there are very similar boards. The majority of the styles on T3 are from T2. The voices are similar with the exception of the few SA2 voices and some others that I noticed with different names. The drums are eq better. I think that it’s a great board. But (Me, myself & I) feel that the jump from a T2 to a T3 is not worth spending 3,999.00 since they are very very similar.

T3 vs S900
There are bigger improvements between the two and I think the jump from an s900 to a T3 will be more bang for the buck. But since I own s900, I find it to suit my needs and the additional features on the T3 will not make a big difference for me.

I find that the missing additional styles that are not on the S900 from the T2 can always be added via usb. So you can come close to a T2 as far as styles. Not sure about voices.

I think for me spending $4k + will be best suited to a different keyboard so I’m buying something fresh and different.

I will have to agree with some other posters here, that the T3 could have been released a couple years from now and the T2 could have stayed in production longer. I not sure if the SA2 voices could have been a software upgrade for T2, but I think that should have happened. The T3 would have been more bang for the buck if the boards was completely redon with new styles and more SA2 voices.
