Don, I'm betting you won't miss much....except the guitar patches that you are use too on the Yamaha..the rest of the stuff, I think the SD1 is superior....You will let us know..

Hmmmmm, let's see - what will you GAIN?
1) Better vocals
2) Drums with different sizzle(maybe not "better", but really, really good
3) New, fresh feeling that only something "else" can give you
4) 76 keys with superior feel
5) Top notch SMF sound selection and midi playback

What will you LOOSE?
1) Easy, easy, easy navigation
2) Fast SMF playback, with instant drum remix (SD1 comes close here)
3) Instant, easy resale to thousnds of buyers worldwide

** Head to Head - these two compete favorably. In Don's case ..... he gets restless after a year anyway, so it won't matter much how they compare. He'll play it - make oodles of money with it, then sell it down the road. That's my boy !

Don,
I hope the buttons are in the right place! I suppose I'll have to buy it from you in about a year after the Tyros II comes out.

If you're RIGHT about this, and you still end up not liking the SD1, I may be interested in taking her off your hands. Afterall, the SD1 includes my imfamous 'rootless chord' recognition. - Scott

There was a slight shipping mistake, and I will receive the new keyboard Monday. I won't have a chance to look at it until Tuesday.
I'm hoping to be able to play it on the job by Thursday night.

Yes, I have a great long distance telephone program, and I did talk to Eddie, but did not tell him about your new keyboard during our conversation. Gotcha!
