Tapas,

I did not quite realize that when you talked about the "$1500 Tyros", you were actually talking about the PSR3000.

I don't own either Tyros or PSR3000, but understand from trying this out myself in the stores and reading posts in this forum, that despite some/many spec similarities between the two, the Tyros in many respects is still better than PSR3000.

I believe there is still plenty of room in Yamaha's lineup for a Tyros II, which whill have a long, pro-quality keybed, the up-to-date USB features, expandable sound engine, etc. Perhaps all that Yamaha is doing is laying the groundwork for introduction of such an instrument.

Still, I think your continued references to PSR3000 as "half-price Tyros" are misleading, and no more true than calling Tyros a half-price CVP-307.

Regards
