I can understand the frustrations that Donny feels as he is primarily a vocalist...I, on the other hand, play only instrumentals, and the addition of the SA voices(especially the Sax) is really the only thing I wished my 3k had.
I have an S900 on order...I was in a similar situation when faced with buying a Tyros or the 3k...the on-board speakers on the 3k (and the price, of course) made it an easy decision.
I had the Tyros2 for several months...I LOVED the SA voices...disliked the lack of speakers and the price...now I'm glad I waited for the S900...it will be perfect for my line of work.
Even if they had just included the SA Sax alone, I still would get it...it's that good...but having those great SA guitars, trumpets, 'bones and a few others will really be a treat.
