Yes, that's true...it would be nice that we could talk about these things as adults...unfortunately,. as musicians we really haven't grown up all that much.
I hardly think of using an S910 as being "compromised"...there is nothing on the Tyros3 that isn't on the S910 that would make my playing experience that much better.
They are both 61 note, they both have great piano sounds, both 128 note poly, as well as SA/mega voices...the Tyros3 only has a few SA2 voices, and they aren't sounds that I'd use.
They both have audio to USB which is handy for making my CDs...the difference may be substantial for some users, but not for me.
I honestly can't think of any real flaws in the S910, although I suppose when it's successor arrives, I will have it on my sample account, and, hopefully they will not take anything off, but rather, add something else, although, I really can't imagine what else I'd need.
When I had the 3k I wanted audio to USB and SA voices...the S900 had them...the S910 added some great tone-wheel organ voices, and an improved screen...nice additions, but I could have stayed with the S900 if I had to.
I'll be genuinely surprised at what they add to the next S-series...most probably it will have a few SA2 voices, but I really can't think of anything else I would want for
my needs.
Perhaps some live synth control knobs like on the PSR-E423, so I can sweep the filter etc, or maybe an arpeggiator, although I already have that stuff on my Jupiter 8.
So, as you can tell...I'm pretty content with what I have...honest!
