Hi Don, I can understand WHY you had decided to delete that post later now. Still, yours was a valid question worth answering.
Because I already have my Tyros1 set up & ready to go for upcoming holiday music gigging, and continue to enjoy performing on it as much as ever, I was initially planning to WAIT until AFTER the holidays before upgrading to Tyros2.
In the meantime, I was contacted by DanO who offered me a Tyro2 deal I couldn't turn down. Because my Tyros2 delivery has been promised to arrive 'well before' the start of the upcoming hectic holiday gig season (late Oct/early Nov), it should afford me enough time to get it setup and ready to go to perform with 'this' Christmas season!
I too consider both GeorgeK and DanO SZ buds, It's just not possible to honor your allegiance to everyone you like on SZ. As far as buying 'in State' vs 'out of State' goes, I'm sure you're well aware of the HIGH (especially in CA) upfront tax consequences, when purchasing goods in state. As a case in point, many Californian's living near the border of Californa & Oregon drive across the border to do their shopping.
