Scott, absoultely agree with ya about Yamaha styles being very usable. When i had the PSR8000, i still kept it for over a year and gave it a good running over, so even though it felt like i was using the same styles all over again, i still liked the idea to some degree because you can comfortably replace your keyboard without too much distraction. This is fine, but when a new kb has about 70% of old styles, then it can get annoying. Even with the recent purchase of my PA-60, i would think about 40 to 50% of styles are from the i30, which again isnt too bad AS long as there are some nice new styles you can alternate too. I found that with Yamaha they didnt in the past include too many new styles, but rather just upgraded existing styles using the new technology in the new kb. For me at least, possibly the worst jump (in terms of styles) was from the PSR620 to the PSR7000, even though the sounds were much better on the 7000, the styles were 90% the same bar a couple here and there. However in terms of playing along with a Yamaha keyboard, theres no doubt that they do the job very well. And i know what you mean about busy styles, as both my X1 and PA-60 are guilty of that, more so the X1 actually, theres a few styles that sound like a fairground UNTIL i start to turn off certain instruments in the tracks so i can hear whats going on!

Jnic, i still have the PSR500 though i regretted selling the PSS-780 because that was my first kb, but because it had small keys, i wouldnt be able to use it today as my hands have grown bigger since!! lol..
