It's a 76 note S950..!

It can't be compared to a PA3x or a T4 or even a G70. It lacks considerably compared to any of them (and is quite a bit less expensive). If it were $5000, I'd have to agree. At $2500 (and price likely to fall quickly... I was noting sub-$1000 BK-7m's within days of its release) it's firmly in what everyone ELSE calls the MOTL bracket. Remember, list on an S950 is $2500. Street more like $1900. That's an AWFUL lot closer than the jump to the $5000 TOTL T4.

TOTL is a FEATURE comparison word. The BK9 compares to none of those.

It's a VERY good MOTL arranger. But TOTL? ...Please!

Maybe we need new descriptors? BOTTOTL (bottom of the top of the line)? UMOTL (upper middle of the line)? SITOTLBIR (says it's top of the line but isn't really!)?

LOL
