For the money and size, I would choose the SX900.

Either one is better than my 3000, but both are only as good as the player at the keys.

Either one is better than my 3000, but both are only as good as the player at the keys. +1 on that! The key is to pick an arranger that meets your preferences (size, weight, "personally" important features, sounds, and styles) and then focus your efforts to capitalize on that keyboard's strengths. Today's arrangers are all high quality - and all are capable of generating amazing results.

I would not say calling a product overpriced means you can't afford it.
It could be, and a very small number at that.
I can speak personally... I do not like to be ripped off for anything..
I am aware of cost factors and believe in dealers making a profit..
I also know Manufacturers dictate selling prices.. Yes Yamaha for sure. Bose another , also Peavey etc.
I consider benefits a high priced keyboard offers over a medium priced keyboard. If there are no major differences for me... I would consider the lesser priced unit.
I will say in my practice I pretty much decide to go with the top models..
There are hyped reasons to buy a particular product, but if you make a list of your needs, the less expensive instrument can be better for you.
It does not mean you can't afford it.
Like DonM I also think the E-A7 offers the best value today.
I owned and sold my first one.. to DNJ, He sold it to Hammer, He sold it to DonM..
I tried to buy it back after owning several other keyboards after I sold it. BK9 (twice) SD7 and test drove several more.
I purchased another new E-A7.. It offers so much more for the dollar, that everytime I think of selling it... I just can't do it.
As for smart buyers paying the lower price.. no such thing.. when we want something.. brain power comes in, not first.. emotions is in control.
Genos would have to be re valued by Yamaha with a street price around $2,500 to interest me.. Same with other products like Fantom..
Not to say they are not great.. but greatly overpriced.. If I really wanted to pay those prices. I would find a way.. Maybe my wife's cookie jar..

Money didn’t really come into the equation with my decision in purchasing the sx900. I sold over $6k’s worth of keyboards and replaced them with 2 ( sx900 and the p121 ) which ended up costing less than half. Didn’t need the extra knobs, sliders, keys, etc that the Genos had to offer. Operating system appears to be pretty much the same. Use piano sound for melody for probably 90% of what I play, so aftertouch not that important.
If I’d had the opportunity of picking up a really good second hand one , with a warranty thru one of the stores, ( chance of that , big fat zero) I probably would have been tempted, but paying well over double the price of the sx900, plus having to add the price of a good set of speakers, value wise, just didn’t add up.

People pay $15 a pack for cigarettes... Hundreds on lottery tickets.. Go Out to eat 2,3x a day, 200.00 Broadway shows, 150.00 concerts. Baseball games, Football games...Disney land vacation, cruises.. 50.00 to get your nails done.. It never ends... Is it overpriced?... Or is it worth the pleasure? Boy are you asking the wrong guy Never bought a pack of cigs.. I was never that dumb Don't buy lottery tickets. Only go out to eat once or twice a day Don't go to broadway shows, concerts, cruises, baseball or football games, nor Disney anything... and I don't take vacations ( just send my wife) I live my life the way I do because I am content.. I am not looking for anything (nothing is missing) And most important, no need to assume Genos is not worth the.. cost. I know it Do I like it sure, just would not buy one new at any price.. I will wait till you throw it out the window... Unless I get tired following you on the Parkway
