If this were a great modern jazz demo, or a rock demo, or an electronica demo, we might be saying the exact same thing about another brand. In the end, it is the CONTENT more than any factor that seems to determine how we feel about an arranger (other than owning one, which definitely clouds the issue!)
Leigh does a nice demo here, with a jazz style.

LA Cool Swing Style that's a lot of fun to play with.
So far, in my explorations of the Tyros4, I haven't hit on any genre that I do, which includes everything except Schlager, that it doesn't cover extremely well.
The only shortcomings were the less punchy "live" drums, and this has been looked after with the new kits in the T4. It also sounds less compressed to me.
It does movie type music very well...big sweeping sounds, with big sweeping styles...sweeping you off your feet.
However, the Rock, R&B, and Dance all are all pretty damn sweepy as well...
I hope you get to play one soon...I'm pretty impressed with this one.
Aside from it not having the 76 keys that you need, I think you'll be pretty impressed too.
