But the deeper question is, why aren't you questioning Yamaha about the obviously dumb decision to make the NP-V80? I mean, everybody KNOWS that arranger players don't need 76 notes, don't they? You've been telling it to us for years. This is like Jesus telling us it's OK to steal... 
Because it is a
piano based arranger...much like the DGX and CVP.
The PSR and Tyros aren't
piano based, hence the five octave keyboard.
You should really be directing these questions to Yamaha's marketing division, but wait...didn't you just tell us you were talking with Steve Deming, from Yamaha, and the gist of the conversation was there was no demand for a 76-note arranger?
I realize you'd like to see Yamaha make a 76 note Tyros4, so you can finally move up from those oldie but goodie G-70's, but it doesn't appear to be in Yamaha's near future.
It's a good thing you had the foresight to get an extra G-70.
I'll be very interested to see if Korg continue with the 76-note PA "pro" series...although they basically have the market all to themselves (Audya and Mediastation aren't finished enough to be competitive), will they sell enough of these arrangers to warrant a continuation of that model?
