Well Dennis, since I don't own either top keyboard I can't comment ..

Fortner is pretty fair , so I would respect his opinions..including "taking the E80 on the gig over the Tyros2, because of the better rhythm section"..not an exact quote..I am basing it from memory..Your quote was also true..he prefers the SA sounds, although he praised the Roland sounds too...He preferred to use the Tyros2 in the studio rather than live..

Overall , it was a good article and has brought the attention just how great "arrangers keyboards" can aid professional musicians as well as hobbyists..
