Haha. Yes with all that stuff out would Be $10000plus
Surprisingly the Korg Kronos has many of the features I mentioned and costs considerably less than a T5 and about 1/3 of your $10k quote. Granted a 15" touch screen, larger ROM, and dedicated audio inputs and outputs would increase costs, but not to the point of putting it into the $10k realm. Most of the features would be software driven and as long as the main processors had the power, they could handle the additional features.
What most manufacturers offer us isn't based upon what we want or need, it's based upon what's the minimum they can offer and still have prospective clients buy the product. You and others feel the T5 is the pinnacle when it doesn't even approach what technology has to offer today. As long as you and others accept what they are offering as ok, they'll get away with baby steps in upgrades.

As I have said many times before an integrated VST Host on-board, as this gives you access to the best sounds (And effects) in the world. (That’s why they are used in Movie and Music Production)

Now, that's a truth!

One thing I didn't include in my list of issues with the T5 is the removal of the voice creator. This one is the deal breaker for me. Check PSR Tutorial to see what a revolt it is causing.
Diki, if I may suggest - I agree with you on pretty much all the points, but let's not bash other SZers here. I think we are much more likely to get the changes we need if we are respectful and answer with logic instead of emotion. I would suggest the same for any body giving any opinion about any subject.
When one's posts that use logic and reasoning are met with glib, facile, barely disguised animosity and baiting, or merely with an emoticon (also baiting and glib), how does one eventually NOT respond in kind?
I will show respect to those who show it to me...
