That can't be right considering the S-900 is supposed to be Mid-Level or Semi-Pro.
I can't imagine taking into consideration that the Yamaha Motif XS dances circles around the features of the S-900 and the S-900 costing more! That just makes no sense. Anyone know what US buyers can expect to pay?

Hi Squeak

Over here in the UK, the retail price of the S900 is £1350.00 (about $2700 USD). I have mine on pre-order for £1080.00 (about $2150 USD).
However, UK prices are always much higher than other parts of the world. I'm not sure if Yamaha has set the official price or release dates for the US/Canada yet. But you can expect to pay much less than we do over here.
Perhaps Ian knows a bit more info.
