Really?? How about the Casio Privia PX-320? It is 88 note, fully weighted, under 30 lbs., 128 note polyphony, and it is an ARRANGER too! And surprisingly, the piano sound(s) actually sound pretty good. And amazingly, the key bed action is really very delightful.

Mike,

My feeling that Yamaha will come up with a lightweight 88 note, piano actioned arranger along the lines of the DGX (and hopefully with the S900's innards) is based on the Casio Previa 320's success.

I have had an overwhelming amount of requests for Yamaha to make such an instrument.

I know I'd buy one in a heartbeat, as would a lot of people who are piano players first, and arranger players second.

I doubt if it will impeach upon the CVP line, because it will be portable.

That's the beauty of competition...it makes for improvements.
