Graham,

This could be the case; however, over the years I have learned to take marketing predictions about the absence of the new products with a grain of salt - way too often they are concerned that trumpeting the plans for future gear may hurt the sales of the current products (e.g. Tyros and 9000Pro), especially as Tyros is brand new, and the 9KPro stock is not fully gone. They would much rather prefer that users like me pay for a Tyros, and then pay again for the "Tyros Pro". Yamaha is not the only one doing that.

Regards,
Alex
