Mike, very impressively played Trumpet instrumental Jazz ballad showcasing Tyros1. I concur that Tyros1 continues to be a terrific sounding keyboard, and as long as it inspires your playing, stick with it. On the other hand, having owned a Tyros1 & Tyros2 now, there are (imho) quite a few dramatic sound & new features (HD drive audio rec, more responsive keyboard feel, text lyric display, and of course SA voices) to make it worth the price difference to people like myself. The one constructive comment I'd like make about your song is that I think the trumpet melody phrasing might benefit from a tiny bit more breathing space between phrases, of which allows a trumpet player just a little more time (fraction of a second more) to take a breath (in some spots). In addition, though your Tyros1 horns sound good, I believe Tyros2's SUPER ARTICULATION trumpet & horns provide more variety of expressive character = realism to their sound.
