donny why are you so intersting in yamahas keys ?

do you mean keybed feel?

Strange how we have different needs and tastes. 12 of the things you listed have no interest to me and wouldn't make a difference. A few of them, such as the semi-weighted keys, 76 keys, no speakers and SA2 voices are even detrimental to my usage.
Knobs, sliders, bigger screen, Yes to them.
I've had dual players in my Korgs for 10 years or so and don't recall ever using more than one at a time, and actually very seldom at all.
If I were to choose between the 900 and the Genos, it would be a no-brainer for me.
Again, we each have different ways we use arrangers. I would seldom use the Ensemble, as great as it sounds. I don't care if there is more than a couple of good B3 organs. The 76 length means I have to change stands, change bags and arrange things differently when I move it.
I've never run out of memory on any of my arrangers, even Yamahas.
The speakers are not that important either way, but I'd just as soon have them as not.
Now, I totally understand why most people would prefer the Genos, just not me. And it costs quite a bit.
My Korg PA4X is ALMOST the perfect arranger for me, but I suppose we'll never have a perfect anything will we?

Carol says I'm perfect!

That's not what she told me!

Great post Don M...

Don...I’m with you on this one.
JM

Ditto on Don's post! I still have PA4x too, so no need for Genos here....

I'll rebute:

76 keys - ---- huge chassis - prefer 61
Fsr keybed - ------ At least the sx is catching up. (baby steps)
Aftertouch -------- never needed/wanted it
6 knobs ------ 6 buttons
9 sliders - ------ you got me there. Sliders are cool
Bigger screen ------- I'm good with 7" (that's what SHE said?)
Better buildquallity -------- it BETTER be for the $$$$$$
More connections - ------ cool to have
More sounds.. ------- So far never wanted for sounds
Sa2 sounds ------- I don't use the SA aspect as much as some
Ensemble voices - ----- this is cool
Revo drums ------- I hear they're cool, but it's a very subtle upgrade
3 types of drawbar organs ------- I just need a good B, and Farfisa
Huge amount of dsp effects - -------Yamaha has always had tons of effects
No build inpeakers (which to me is a pro) ------- HUGE downer - speakers are a must for THIS pro
3GB expansion memmory ------- 3 to 1 ain't bad (bad Meatloaf reference)
3rd party expansions, many more then for psr series ------- We'll see
Dual audio player ------- I like two, but one is fine
Better bigger and more buttons, ------- bigger is NOT better for most of my stages. Bigger, PLUS the extra amps needed .... ------ too much bulk for this guy

Just one man's opinion, and why they will most likely sell gazillions more 900s than Genos'.

Must admit at this stage, the sx900 was a no brainer for me too. But for different reasons .
Didn’t want to spend nearly 2 1/2times what I paid for the SX900.
Wanted to see how much I enjoyed the Yamaha vs the korgs I’ve had for the past 10 years. ( my psrs950. I didn’t really play till recently)
If they bring out a 61 note version of the Genos, then I might consider it down the track.
At the moment I’m really happy with my choice. I really don’t need more.
