Bachus, it only took about two years before things such as case color change to black and supertwist LCD screens came into play after that post on this forum. In tech terms, that is warp speed for something like this to be implemented. Same held true for many of the software updates that were requested. Now, I'm sure some of these changes may have already been considered, but I really don't know if they were in the works or not. Only the folks at Yamaha know. However, you must give Yamaha credit for providing most of the changes that were asked for by consumers. I cannot think of another manufacturer that has done that, unless you consider Ketron, but AJ made those changes - not the manufacturer.

All the best,

Gary
