I do hope you get your wish, Diki, but chances are slim, as Yamaha's marketing research doesn't agree with you.

The NP-V80 was made to compete with the lower end products like Casio's piano based arrangers...the DGX-series has been doing this already for some time.

Korg is the only one of the Big Three making a high end 76'er...Mediastation, and Audya are no competition, Roland is gone, and Casio is only doing entry level...the higher end market is so small, that Yamaha is not going to build a 76 note arranger for a few measly sales.

Since you are so sure, why not send Yamaha some hard evidence that the market for a 76 note high end arranger is lucrative?

That's your best bet.
