Regarding the new S-series, $2000 for a keyboard that does essentially the same things (for my needs) as a much more expensive Tyros3, is still an incredible bargain.

MOTL arrangers, in all brands, not just Yamaha, have come a long way in the past number of years, and offer a very viable, and much less expensive, alternative to TOTL arrangers.
