OK, so there's SOMETHING new and exciting... but is there enough? A few new lead sounds, a few new styles, a few new OS features.

Is a few enough?

It makes for some interesting reading to go back and re-read the posts when the T3 came out, and the T2, and then to go and listen to the factory demos for each of those. Same comments, same arguments, same sound. Same people, three years later getting all worked up about the exact same thing, and precious little difference in any of the demos.

My G70 sounded like a completely different, and better keyboard than my G1000. That's why I got it. If it had shown as little improvement as, say the T2-T4 jump (let alone T3-T4), I highly doubt I would have made the switch. But there are those that were agog at the T2, bought it, and then were agog at the T3, bought it, now agog at the T4, probably going to buy it. Seems like 'agog' doesn't last very long, does it?

I bet you something... Play a T2 factory demo, then a T4 demo to a lay person, ask them if they liked that keyboard (don't tell them it's two different ones). Bet you they say yes! And I bet you few of them tell you it's two different keyboards, seven years apart!

Factory demos are the great equalizer... They show that, once the hype and novelty wear off, just about ANY modern arranger sounds great! And that a great player on older gear will STILL beat 99% of us on the latest model.
