I don't see metal pro keyboards trading for plastic anytime soon. Maybe if the plastic was Kev. inforced


Oh I agree. Old habits are hard to break. But I believe the real reason a Tyros costs more than a Motif XS is because they sell far less of them and they are sold mostly to older people who appreciate the lighter weight.

One thing I have learned about Yamaha..they KNOW their markets...
