Uncle Dave,

very well-written post. I think it should be the conclusion for this topic, at least for me.

I was sort of excited about the 2000 after Yamaha released all the good stuff that SVP world posted. Then the Yamaha web site posted conflicting info. Nothing to do but wait and see.
The harmonizer must have a mute switch before I will buy one. The rest of it I can live with, even though they seem to have taken away the wonderful Groove switch that the 740 has.
