Thanks John C, you've told me exactly what I wanted to know about the Audya. It would seem it is similar in sound to the Tyros 3 which most of the time is very good, but the band sounds are as you say, "today's sounds with yesterday's music"

One of our members remarked that they were probably programmed by a young person who has never listened to Glen Miller/40s Big Bands and therefore are unable to capture the realism of that particular sound.

Anyway, now that Audya is off my list, does anyone have the Roland E80, if so, what is that keyboard like?
