Hey guys, thanks for all the input.
Let me give a little more detail. We will use the new keyboard (whatever it will be) in a variety of ways. It does not have to be piano-based because it will sit right next to a Yamaha Grand C7. Our worship style is blended. That means we will use our Rodgers organ some services. Other Sundays we use one of our worship teams. I have been impressed with Yamaha's voices, esp. those found on the T2. It would be used in a support position...as one instument among several in a live band. The point Scott brought up was well taken. There are times when a soloist may want to sing with a MIDI track or style backup. There would be times where we may want to create an accomp. track for choir, vocal ensemble, or even tracks for a CD recording project. There are times also where we do piano/keyboard duets. Sometimes we need a realistic string section emulated on the keyboard to play along with a live orchestra. Sometimes, even tho we have a fabulous Rodgers organ installation, we may want a more gospel-sounding organ which the T2 could provide. There are times when our worship band needs to hear a certain style in order to duplicate it in a live setting. Styles on the T2 can act as a tutor. I'm thinking that with an HD installed we could even produce sophisticated accompaniment trax for our various groups and choirs. Plus with the ability of being able to import audio samples and additional voices, the T2 would not go the way of the dinosaur nearly as fast. Do I sound like I'm talking myself into the T2? I think I'm trying to justify the purchase. You must admit it will allow for a great deal of versatility.
