OK, I'm 67, looking for a keyboard to last my remaining gigging years.

I've been using my Tyros 4 for gigs(about 10 a month). It's become my trusted friend when gigging.

Thing is I bought my Tyros 4 for a good price as a used demo and it's time to replace it...time for it to become my backup.

So where to next?

I tried the PSR series...great keyboards but(as much as I wanted my PSR's to be) just not in the same league with my Tyros

I have the opportunity to buy a PA 4X but I can't decide if it's a PSR S970 on steroids or a Tyros wannabe.

I'm seriously leaning toward a Tyros 5, 61 key. But I've heard the Tyros 4 sounds better than the Tyros 5 gig wise.

Like others, I thought about waiting for the Tyros 6. But there's some clues here...and all the clues lead to a $6K+ Montage type keyboard. Not at all practical, price wise, for those of us who play for old folks.

Thing is, whatever I get. It will be my main keyboard...and if it lasts 8 or 9 years....well I'll be asking Garyif I can cruise on out with him on his boat.
