I had a PSR-8000, Danny; in fact, I had two of them, one for a back-up.
It's only limitation, for me, was that the styles had only two variations, and the style creator was a bit crippled compared to what was on the newer instruments.
That's what made me move on...I ended up with two PSR-2000...I was able to make far more usable styles, and, let's face it, those are the heart and soul of any arranger.
Even though the PSR-2000 lacked a bit of the sound quality of the PSR-8000, the four variation styles and their much more flexible editing, more than made up for it, in my case.
Even more so today, I find mid-range instruments are leaps and bounds ahead of top range units of only a few years ago.
I converted many of the PSR-8000 styles to work in my PSR-S910, and I also used parts of those 8K styles for making my Frankenstyles...they had some very interesting bits, not found on any other Yamaha arranger.
Glad to hear you're enjoying your Tyros3.
