The point I was trying to make, Ian, is that IN GENERAL, most here consider the PSR series' keybed to be sub par, particularly for such an expensive keyboard. There isn't a single other keyboard in the same price range with as flimsy a keybed, neither WS, not arranger, nor synth.

Perhaps I DID make a projection, but you have to admit that, as uncritical as you are to whatever Yamaha you are using, and as little comment that you make whenever things change (which they do every model change), it is hard to accept that, IF Yamaha had included the same keybed that grace their WS lines, you wouldn't be as enthusiastic as you are now. Let's face it, what was the LAST thing you criticized a PSR for? Bueller? Bueller...? Bueller..... . . . ?

It would be a LOT easier to accept your uncritical acceptance of the keybed, if you were willing to acknowledge any other shortcomings of the PSR, but when we all see such biased reportage from you (you never admit ANY flaw, you never wish for features from other arrangers to be added to the PSR, you never have much of a wishlist of things you'd like added), it is kind of hard to believe that, underneath the veneer of partisanship, there doesn't at least lurk a TINY desire for something to change.

In all fairness, as invested in Yamaha's success as you seem to be, it is difficult for us to think that, should Yamaha decide that they are going to replace the keybed with one more in tune with its' price range, that you would criticize THAT decision, either... The PSR3k was perfect, too, if I recall. So, is the better display annoying you? No, it isn't. And IF they added a better keybed, it is hard to believe that you would, all of a sudden, turn into a Yamaha critic for that decision, either.

We aren't talking about going from the PSR to an 88 wood, or even the heavier G70 action. Just the action that Yamaha think SHOULD be on its' $1800 WS's. I've never heard you criticize THOSE for NOT having the PSR's keybed...

But, your response gets to the point of my original post. IF we all were more willing to discuss flaws, of ANY kind, with each other, it would be a lot easier to accept things like your preference for the keybed, under the knowledge that you WERE willing to talk about things that you DO want changed. But when one is SO uncritical about an entire product, it is hard to separate out the issues that you DO like from those you might not, but refuse to discuss.

And, I'm sorry, but I still find it hard to accept that, if Yamaha put an FSX keybed into a PSR, you would EVER complain about it. I truly believe that you would do what you have already done... gotten used to it, uncomplainingly. You 'got used' to the new display, didn't you?
