Thanks Mike,

I think you are spot on in your even handed critique. I have the opportunity of playing a T5 next Tuesday, but as I said anything over 5K is deff a breaking point for me, which means I'll prob go for a Korg PA3X at a greatly reduced cost and more of a workstation for the money. Which will be a shame because to date I have owned all of the Tyros models, and for the life of me after selling my T4 and getting a fab Audya, I like you don't understand the baby steps on the T5, and feel that along with the real cost up many dollars, Yamaha have missed a real opportunity to get a great number of new players into the Tyros market.
