Anyway i am looking forward to some real live demos of the T4. Then will look for a cheap S910 that is bound to come on the market in the next few months.

Its all in marketing. And you know Yamaha is the King when it comes to good arranger marketing. The T2 and T3 is heavyer than the PSR 3000 but did Yamaha stop making arrangers? Yamaha's thinking is that if your sounds ans styles are great, even if you do not have all the features that people want they would still buy the keyboard. That is why they could get away with small upgrades from one Tyros to the next.
