Right now the PSR2100 does include the survival kit but i've been told that this might be going away. The reason for the survival kits were to give the "edge" to the music store dealers that have to compete with the electronic stores such as Best Buy, Fry's, Costco, etc. Because we can sell the same low end keyboards they also sell, we have some extra value added accessories to offer our music store customers. The 2 year warranty instead of the standard 1year parts/90 day labor, headphones, sustain pedal and in most survival kits an A/C adapter. With the PSR1000/2000 keyboards, like the Tyros, which doesn't include a survival kit, Yamaha is talking about not giving you the survival kit anymore. Since the A/C power adapter/chord is already in the box, they might be feeling like they should be charging for the extra accessories. If dealers like myself buy large enough quantities, we don't pay for the survival kits and so we just include them at no extra charge. Yamaha is giving away an awful lot by extending the warranty for 2 full years at no extra fee received by them. So, I would say to look for the survival kit possibly going away pretty soon. If not, I was wrong, but this is just something I've heard from the rumor mill.
The keys on the PSR2100 feel just like the PSR2000 and yes, the whole piano is enhanced. It's just that I really noticed the major difference on the higher keys, they sounded so much more realistic to me than the grand piano on the PSR2000.
