Now, c'mon guys! Not one of you would be complaining if the S900 had a similar build quality to a MotifES or regular Motif, that WERE in the same price range. Yes, the price of a MoXS6 has risen to a bit above $2000, but you are getting WAY beyond S900 capabilities for that small increase in price (S900's are pushing $1700, these days).

The case and componentry have nothing to do with the increase between the two lines (older, cheaper Motif's were built just as well as newer XS's).

I am simply gobsmacked that, rather than admit that the toy-like construction of the PSR's is any detriment whatsoever, the Yamaha fanboys circle the wagon and come up with transparent excuse after transparent excuse for why they SHOULD be ripped off so blatantly. And you know what? Yamaha are reading this, rubbing their hands together, chortling at this, and going 'Look, it's working, it's working! The fools would rather keep being ripped off than admit we can make a mistake or improve!"

The triumph of advertising brainwashing over common sense... herd mentality.

Two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good...

Baaaaaaahhhhhhh....
