Hi Peter. As a working pro who owned the Technics KN5000 (2 years), Yamaha PSR2000, then Tyros1 (for 3 years), and since Nov 2005: Tyros2, I remain thrilled with the terrific improvements & new features Tyros2 includes: much more responsive (expressive) key feel & with a more durable key build, built in HD digital recorder (terrific to capture your live performance), expressive SA Voices, Lyric (.txt) display which can be called up via regist (1-8) buttons. Though I'm sure Tyros2 remains fully capable, as a gigging pro, I think you too will appreciate the new features Tyros2 offers.
