Dear Scott,

Hi mate, I agree with the others. We are hobbyists who like playing music. So when they hear a new keyboard comes out, and they become enthusiast because all the hype and fancy websites (e.g. http://aux.music.yamaha.com/tyros2/) then it is not a shame to take a look and a listen to this keyboard. It would not even be a shame to admit that Tyros2 has "beaten" KN7000 in your opinion. So what? I will stick to my KN7000 for the time being, with the four expansion boards inside, SD-Jukebox, SD-Explorer, many, many styles, multi-footpanel, etc...... but maybe I will sell it...

What future brings in this respect is uncertain. One thing is for sure: I cannot afford the Tyros2 in addition to the KN7.
