Yes FransN. The BK-9 is offered at a much better price than the new Tyros no doubt. Although I'm unwilling to spend $500 or more on an iPad to use in conjunction with the BK-9. I feel it is was manipulative marketing practice by Roland and company and in my opinion a keyboard should be able to stand on its own without unnecessary add-ons that raise the price. Besides the sound quality on the BK-9 has yet to be determined. Some of sounds from the demos didn't thrill me. I'll wait until I can play one firsthand though. If the LCD screen(s) aren't as bad they seem and if the key action is really good and most of the sounds are excellent then I might get one.

All the best, Mike
