Another nail in the coffin of the T5. (Yamaha need to do something quick if they wish to stay in the TOTL Arranger market)

Does your statement make any sense? Many brands develop and sell their TOLT arranger keyboards. The Tyros 5 came out 2 years ago and yet Korg managed an upgraded Korg PA3X upgrade in the PA4X that almost matches the older Tyros 5. Each have their unique specialized features, but pretty much on par with each other.
Now, somehow Yamaha is suppose to roll over and stop producing TOTL arrangers. Even if Yamaha stop producing their TOTL arrangers, I would still stick with Tyros 5 for years to come because no arranger has surpassed the realism and performance. It would still take Korg years to introduce their next TOTL arranger, while Yamaha's Tyros 6 is just around the corner.
I think more Tyros 4 owners upgraded to the Tyros 5 then PA3X upgrading to the PA4X will in the end. Is their not reports that the PA4X price is more than a Tyros 5. What PA3X owner is going to spend the difference for a PA4X for the few upgrades it offers?
