First off, tx to Yamaha for investing in an arranger, ...if I was on the Board of Directors...dont know if I would have voted in favor...

Arranger = questionable future in the U.S. anyway.

Genos advantage = 28(est)lbs...compared to Korg.

For an old guy like me, big deal.

Arrangers are a big deal everywhere outside of the US, the arranger is still yamaha’s biggest money maker worldwide

And the only reason Yamaha arrangers are not more wellknown in the US is because of Yamaha USA not promoting them at all..

...right after motorcycles, ATV's, boats, drums (acoustic and electronic), acoustic pianos, synths, workstations, etc., ect., ect. Yamaha is (according to Wiki) the worlds largest manufacturer. I kinda doubt if an arranger keyboard is their "biggest moneymaker worldwide".......but I could be wrong (and if I am, I apologize beforehand).

My PA4X weighs 29.4 pounds. Not much difference.

Reasons to upgrade for me...

28 pounds with 76 keys
Easy to use sequencer... TBD
Ability to playback a WAV file
Playlist feature
Updated sounds and sound quality

Reasons for concern...

$$$$$$$$... I can sell off enough older keyboards to upgrade.
Extra size... especially the depth compared to the Pa4X.

On the radar... need to demo in person soon. Upgrade by January... maybe?!?

espesciall the $$$$$$$ is a concern... shelving out almost €3000 on top of an exchange deal involving my PA4x is a huge amount of money

Only worth it if its a huge step forward.. time will tell, 4th of November i will be at teh Peter Baartmans Demo, and a day later i should be able to get a closer look at a dealer in shop presentation.

I know... even though I could come up with the money, is it really worth it?!? I do 15-20 solo/duo shows per year. Maybe $2500-$3000 for the year. I make more doing sound gigs... less gigs but more money. I should invest in sound gear. But my creativity in music is calling me! I want something with great sounds that sounds great. Easy sequencer on board and great FX. I'm not asking for much.
