Hey leezone, Just to let you know from a person who has owned every arranger keyboard on the planet, and has logged too many nights doing live performances, there is a major difference between the T3 and Audya. The Tyros 3 is a refined instrument that plays MIDI files infinately better than any other keyboard out there and it's SA2 voices are extremely impressive. Having said that, my opinion of the Audya is radically differnt. If your looking for the rough unpolished sound of a real band then Audya is what you want. The drums are real and I mean real. The voices really sound like their being played in a live stage situation. For me, too hard to program compared to Yamaha products but none the less a great keyboard. It's what you find more important at a performance.
