Saw one at Sam Ash over the weekend. Pretty cool for a $200 board. I always like a bang-for-your-buck keyboard. (That's why I chose the 910 over the T3), and Yamaha has managed to come through with another winner.

Well, for a little more than pocket change, one can have a neat little board with some cool features. The use of the 2 controller knobs stands out on this model (and the ones before it). Neat feature that's been enhanced on this one. A handful of new 'dynamic' voices are a nice touch. 4x more memory allows storage of more songs and styles. You'll find good selection of ethnic sounds and styles in addition to the standard fare. A slightly improved speaker system, lots of arp voices (some which now allow you to split the keyboard and use them as accompaniment), and decent keybed - for this level of board - make this a tempting buy just for the fun of it. And the attractive textured black body give the PSR E423 a bit of a classy look. Did I mention it's only $200? No, it's not fit for a pro, but the fun factor gives this little board a ton of curb appeal.

Just my 2 amateur cents...
