Do you really believe that the few individuals that have these concerns are going to trigger a major undertaking with any manufacturer to cater to your whims? Not a prayer! Live with it, work around it, and carry on.

Gary ... I could be wrong here, but wasn't there something you wanted to see on a Yamaha KB, and contacted Yamaha, and then were happy when the issue was corrected? ... If I am wrong then I apologize ...
Now I understand that you are a DIE-HARD Yamaha fan, and their KBs are the greatest thing since sliced bread, however, why is it that some features can be found on OTHER brands of KBs in the very same price range, and not on Yamaha? ... I think that's what frustrates people like Donny ... now there may be features on the S970 that I don't have on my Pa900, but I am not aware of them ... but if they ARE on the 970, for relatively the same price, I would want them on my Pa900 ...
It's really quite simple ... JMHO ...
