Hi Tony,
Even though I agree that some of the styles in the Audya sound more live and real than any other KB, there are just not enough of them for me for the type of music I play.
The sounds are definitely not light years ahead as Don M recently wrote.
I auditioned many Ketrons, but couldn't quite get myself to like the sound...
In addition: many of the Yamaha styles immediately inspire me to play many different songs to one style, I never had that with the Ketron.
Again; even though I turn on a style and say wow... I can't come up with a song to play to that. I think it's just me...
Plus there are tons of styles for my type of music out there for the Yamahas.
I have always been able to tweak my KB enough where others say wow (including myself ).
Good enough for me.
I think, that ALL TOTL KB these days are awesome. It's just comes down to personal taste.
Eric
