Has anyone ever noticed that when we see a comparison it's always brand XXX V/S Yamaha?z,Might the reasoning behind this be that Yamaha IS the top dog?

That may be true but where the heck is the NEW S Model and why so long in between models?.......
Why would they make a new S model, if all those salesmen still push the old ones at a very nice profit?
In the same vein the they could have waited with the T5 and so many who bought in haste are returning them for the T4..

Ketron only has 1 distributer in the UK who also distributes Bohm & Key B & Thomas organs, and as they were demonstrating Bohm (At possibly others) at the boat show, did not attend this time. (They were at the April and May shows)
They were however used by a number of concert players mainly to increase the styles of the other instruments they were playing, and as has been said before if it has the style you want they are unmatched, but are let down by their main sounds and Midi styles which fall short of other manufactures instruments.

Yamaha normally work around a 3 year release update of their S series instruments so just hang on in there.

Over here in the UK Yamaha organs/arrangers are part of a family (Has been from the late 70s early 80s) so people feel happy with the Yamaha brand (Just like Apples users do with their stuff) and they constantly recommend it, even though it falls short in a number of departments. (Just like Apple products) If you can get a licence to sell Yamaha (You have to meet strict support guidelines etc.) then it is quite simply a sure fire way to print money.
