IF you didn't need the VH or attached speakers at all, AND realistic orchestral sound was BIG...would you go T4 or PA3X?
I am much like you, Lee...orchestral sounds are
very important to me, as I'm not usually a singer...I'm still waiting for my Tyros4, as delivery was held up by snow squalls (zero visibility).
The Tyros4 has the same excellent FSX keyboard as the Tyros3...the keybed was designed
especially for using with SA/SA2 voices and is the
same as the one in the Motif...it is, in my opinion, one of the
very best semi-weighted actions you can buy today.
If you are concerned about actions, you won't find one better, in my opinion, and I've been playing arrangers since they were first introduced, and Martin Harris was still in short pants. Ha Ha!
This is not a Yamaha pitch...this is from my own experience, and knowing you like playing much the
same type of music as I do, I think you will love it.
Hearing Thelmo's performances (and Martin's great NAMM demos) really has me anxiously awaiting my Tyros4.
I hope you get to try one soon, and that you also get to spend some quality time on the Korg PA3X, so you can make an informed decision.
Best wishes,
Ian
