Both the Tyros 2 and the Roland G70 Version2 have me fired up. I wish the Tyros had 76 keys and I would like there to be more on board styles on the G70. But both are my top choices right now. I also continue to think the Korg PA1X series is really good, but I prefer the 128 note polyphony on both the Tyros and the G70.
I was so busy shipping out my first Tyros 2's today that I only had 30 minutes to play. I will need to put a hard drive in this weekend. I really like that Yamaha has included two USB device slots, one on the front and one in the rear.
Many styles and sounds remain from the Tyros 1 but the new ones are wonderful.
Please Yamaha............make a 76 key model. Actually, I had 2 marketing managers from the US and 2 from Japan in my store this week and had an opportunity to ask for a 76 note model and also discussed future models to be developed. I'm excited that they took lots of notes and listened to everything I had to offer up. A PSR3000 with 76 keys is another keyboard I talked up alot.
