How about enlightening us as to how you define a professional keyboard. Especially when take into consideration there are a lot of us on this forum who make a good living as professional entertainers and musicians, and use the PSR and Tyros series of keyboard to do so. Keep in mind that the vast majority of piano players are also home players, and I suspect that applies to the vast majority of all instrument purchases are made by home players. So, in reality, IMO, there is no such thing as a PRO arranger keyboard - ALL instruments are PRO instruments when played and used by professionals. Good luck, Gary

Bells and whistles.
I never said you can't play Tyros or s950/970 professionaly. Of course you can.
You can also play some old Casio professionaly too. Or you can whisle professionaly.Why not if you are good at it. That doesn't really matter.
And both keyboards are probably the best in their class.The only difference is one was more designed for home players, more simple, less features. ..etc.
And the other one is more complex with much more features.
I have T5, and it is a home keyboard.
My congratulations to Frank and his store. To bad you are not here in Canada. We have a great health care.
I almost bought T5 from him. But there was an border issue.
Keep selling them.

I don't use the arranger section at all, just for the sounds, Audio Link Wav playback, and the Registration system

How does this work? I thought the WAV LINK is for effects or phrases assigned to multi pads along with accompaniment, not instead of. It sounds like it is like a midi backing track with linked registration, except WAV.

I currently use the Korg Pa900 the same way you use the T5. I don't use the arranger... Sounds, playback of WAV files (MP3 on the Korg), and the registration memory.
Now, do I sell the Pa900 to get the Pa4x?
OR
Sell the Pa900 to get the highly positive reviewed Yamaha PSR-S970?!?
Hmmm?!? If you don't use the arranger features at all why not get a good synth or workstation, Kronos, Motif XF,.. I like having an arranger in my arsenal of keyboards. I have the Motif XF6 but getting to audio files is in file mode. Not the best way to do it. I worked at a music store selling keys for 12 years... So I have a collection at home. I've been gigging since 1991... Korg M1 to Korg O1/Wfd to Korg Triton 61 to Korg Triton Studio 76 to Motif ES7 to Roland BK9 to Korg Pa900 So at this stage of my gigging, my keyboard needs to be light, able to play audio files (my sequences from my other boards.) I have my backup tracks on my mixer...Sonar VS100 or my new Soundcraft Ui16. But in my duo, it's important to keep my track selection in front of me while engaging our audience. Workstation stays home... Unless the new Yamaha "Montage" or whatever they will call it is built well with a small footprint and will do what I need for a gig. Here's to wishing!
