Hi Simon . Looking forward to your 'hands on' Tyros2 review on SVP World. In the meantime, I too am anticipating delivery of mine around the same time (late Oct/early Nov), and plan to post my review comments here on SZ. Like Bebop, I too have been speaking with more and more people who have finally had the chance to audition & actually play it. Every Tyros1 owner I've spoken with that's heard and played Tyros2, say it exceeded their expectations, and felt it well worth the upgrade. - Scott
