As a former Techincs KN5000 owner, I definitely concur with the points you're making.
In addition, Technics keyboard's rootless jazz chord recognition was much better in ”full keyboard" mode than it is on the Tyros 4.
It was a real blow when Technics stopped producung arranger keyboards.
They were ahead of the game, and ahead of their time.
The KN-7000 was a real beauty...they also knew how to do a "panel" properly, and many companies, including Yamaha, Roland etc. copied some of their unique design.
It was a real surprise when they stopped production....and a real shame.
