Received a letter dated July 20, 2009 today from Yamaha.
PSRS710 MSRP $1399 MAP $1099
PSRS910 MSRP $2299 MAP $1749
Both of these prices are just $50.00 more than the current MAP for the 900 and 700
It also states that they will begin shipping in October to dealers.
Here's the information printed on the letter:
"PSR-S910 vs PSR-S900
MP3 playback delivers the most common audio format to your keyboard
Music Finder+Audio links MP3's with tempo, Styles & Voice data in one instant recall setting
New enhanced color TFT display is viewable from any angle (vs QVGA)
Add'l sounds from TYROS3 boost the voice selection

In the same letter the price of the Tyros3 effective on August 1, 2009 will have a MSRP of $5499.00 and a MAP of $4599.00.
Now there will be a really big difference in price points from the 910 to the T3.
