The new "effects section" on the Tyros5, is impressive, but frankly, the old one in the Tyros4 was no slouch either...then again, any feature isn't worth a hoot unless the user digs in and exploits it.
The drawbar organs on the Tyros4 can be vastly improved by proper effects usage (like distortion or overdrive) and the correct Leslie settings. Though most presets sound pretty good, there is a difference when you put the right "spin" on them (pun intended).
I'm happy with the Tyros4...it has all the essential SA/SA2 voices for my needs, and, I was never a fan of the audio drums on the Tyros5 or the S950...too limited editing-wise for my purposes.

To my understanding everything in the T4 is also in the T5....
I personally think it sounds much better in the T5 because of the upgraded DSP effects, this feuture alone puts the T5 above the T4
Add to that the new Audio styles
Almost 3 times the number of SA2 voices
almost double the number of SA1 voices
The organ world, with some of the best hardware organ sounds
The ensemble section with all its innovation
And the fact that it has a 76 key option (which is a must for me and many others)
There has never been a bigger upgrade in the whole Tyros history...
The only downfall is the edditing, and the YeM... They really need to open up the edditing...
