I agree that the cost is way to much.

IMO , the T-3 is not worth the price , too much plastic and as already stated , too much to pay for added stuff that should be free.

Even though I was able to get mine at a great price ( once again , many thanks to Frank ).

It still was a deal breaker when Yamaha wanted more and more $$$ to keep it current.

I`m still do not regret bailing out , but it is a great keyboard at too high a price.

I just could not imagine paying what some of the web sites sell it for , talk about a heart break !!
