I guess with the Price Reduction and new prs2000 and cvp209 styles added to the PRS 9000 ... it makes it more attractive for some. And the 2 OS upgrades fixed the problems others had 3 years ago!

The only complaint I still hear is the Weight 50lbs! But for studio, composer, song-writer ... that's not a problem... and for those that gig in different places each night ... I could see they have a valid point. Although I would probably put it on small metal kitchen table with wheels that Target sells for 50 dollars (got tip from other Board).

Of the 3 yamaha models I looked at: prs2000, 9000pro, prs9000 ... the prs9000 was the only model that had the Wood Encased Speakers, Sampler, and hard drive option ... and I knew I wanted the Speakers for fast and easy setup and monitoring!
