I don’t know what others think; but, at this senior age, weight is a major consideration. Sure, I enjoy a reliable, great-sounding board as much as the next person. But a 50 to 60 lb. keyboard that sounds ten times better than the Tyros 5 and costs $500 wouldn’t get a purchase response from me----especially for carrying around. The S950 is about as heavy as I want to go for live play. The T5 stays at the house for personal recording and making backing tracks for singers.
