As opposed to it's owners.

What you consistently fail to acknowledge is that, while Yamaha are making the PSR, they are also making the MoXS6, very little more expensive, HUGELY more capable and voiced, basic chord following for arps and loops that are radio ready, not nursing home ready...

Now. either the MoXS is wrong, they should make it like the S900, or the S900 is wrong, and should be built like the XS6. But it can't be neither. The S900 is a scaled down T2, sure... but the XS6 is the TOTL Yamaha. Only difference to the XS8 are the keys. In other words, Yamaha sell their XS6 for little more than the S900, but $1500 LESS than a T3. And it is easily comparable to the latter, NOT the S900.

Yamaha's MOTL WS is the MO6, at around $1000. and as such, should be compared to the S900, not the XS6. Construction IS poorer on the MO6, but still not quite down to the S900's level, and it is $600 LESS.

So.... Yamaha are entitled to make a profit, but only from arranger players?
