I have a KN7000, and I am happy with it, it's a great keyboard. A few weeks ago I played a PSR 2100, different. At first I did not like it, but after playing a bit, I found it has a great feel for dance music. Great drums--great basses.

Here's my question; Since I own a KN7000, I thought the Tyros would be over-kill, so I placed an order for a PSR2100. I have a week before they get them in stock, there is still some time for me to reconsider my choice.

What do I lose by not buying the Tyros?
And are there any features in the PSR2100 that are not int the Tyros?

I did read about the fill-ins playing continuously on the PSR2100 but not the Tyros.

I'm open to any thoughs, Thanks, John C.

You lost a user upgradable operating system, more & better styles, more & better voices, and the ability to have an internal hard drive, but you saved 2 grand. With what you saved dollarwise it depends on what you do with the 2 grand to determine whether you made a wise decision. I read comments good/bad for both the Tyros/2100.

If you can stretch to it and don't need the smallness, portability and integral speakers of the 2100 then the Tyros is a good investment. Although you will love the 2100, chances are in a few months you'll be thinking of moving to the Tyros! Why wait....!

Hey, John C., I think you should at least get the Tyros. The lesser is always the lesser and the best is always the bester of the lester. Look at it this way. If for some reason down the line you become disenchanted with it, like some of the other KN guys did, you will have had a much more valuable lesson. After all, people collect paper weights and door stops just like they collect stamps, china and other things. Taking that into consideration, it will never be a total loss if things don’t work out. Another way of looking at it is you might decide one day to give up playing and go into collecting full time as a hobby. Already you got a good start with your collection. Just look at Bebop! If anybody has got a good start in that direction, he has. Now that is where I think Uncle Dave has made a big blunder. In his determination of acquirement and collection, he sells or trades the old ones. Later on in life when he makes new friends such as Arthur Ites and can’t play much anymore, he will regret not keeping all of his many instruments of music. The opportunity of opening a museum and making real big money displaying the music makers of the past, will have vanished forever. Dave, foresight is always more valuable than hindsight.

Valuable insights from the think tank of old.....

Now there's a bit of logic that's hard to fight.

Thanks for all your helpful thoughts, it helps a great deal.

UD, I read your post, and I'm still trying to understand what you said/wrote --He he he

THanks again, John C.
