I would also add that arranger keyboards generally are more expensive and in a down economy in the US, keeping high dollar inventory on hand is not practiced much. Everytime something new comes out, like a Tyros keyboard, you won't find it in the local Guitar Center or Sam Ash. Here in the tri-state area in the east, the only stores that will have one to demo are the high profile showcase stores in Manhattan- New York City. As for Ketron, forget it. Everything is special order only. If you're lucky you can make an appointment at a distributor open during the day (weekdays only) to try one out. Of course, you'll probably be working those hours and can't get there. One reason these forums are so popular is because here we have to rely on others' reviews and online research before taking the plunge.
