I want to thank everyone that has replied thus far. I know it takes some time and effort for these opinions so it's very much appreciated.

However, I'm more confused now that I was prior to the reading this. My primary use for an arranger keyboard is to do a two piece with a female singer. I sing myself so I would be using many styles. The sounds must be of very high quality. I have an aversion to cheezy ump pa styles and sounds.

The two areas that MikeTV did not rate high, Styles and Sounds, are both keys to my purchase. I agree with Fran, I just can't understand the extreme range of likes and dislikes with this board.

To me that translates to 50% of my audience will not like the way this board sounds!!!!

That is just too risky to me. I'm going to have to go and play it for myself to determine if I like it. I purchased the Tyros sight unseen and except for the keyboard size and feel was extremely happy with it. I can only extrapolate that I will be MUCH happier with the Tyros2 when it is released.

What the hell do I do now?
