  Yep, it does look awful crowded to me, too.
 The worst about trying to have a button for nearly everything, is that it's a two-edged sword.
  Access is supposedly improved, but it tends to get very busy, and a lot of those buttons look alike....could be tricky on stage in a dim light.
  I think the darker color is very nice...I'm hoping the next S-series Yamaha have a black/dark finish. I never did like the silver, but, hey, if it sounds good, I suppose that's just a minor thing.
   Won't be long before we find out if this picture is bogus or not; that is, if the rumors of a release in January are true.
