Here is another thought:

How come that so many forum members around the world already ordered their T2 even before it hit the stores?
Those are only the ones we heard about on the forum, but there are many more that don't post but read. I know several of them.
Are they all stupied or misslead?
I don't think so.

I hear you rather have a T2 but don't have the money.
Is that Yamahas fault?
I don't think so.
I compared the price of my old Psr-8000 vs the new T2. The difference is not that much considering the years in between, but the difference in KB's is HUGE.

I'd rather have a Mercedes or BMW, but I don't have the money for it.
Is that their fault? I don't think so either.
So instead I drive something else.

We're talking top end model arranger KB's here.

Regarding 76 keys...... well; I don't have an answer either. Got me on that one..

However going from 76 keys (9000Pro) to T2 will definatly be an adjustment.
I had a long talk with Scott Yee about that who, as you know is trained in classical and Jazz piano and has a grand piano at home.

Most of the time we don't need 76 keyes, but it's nice to have.
Using the octave up and down feature on the fly will be the answer for me.
I watched my playing style and it doesn't happen to often.
If you're a giging musician, you value any saved size or wheight as many here on the forum can tell.

BTW Roel: what time do you go to bed?
It must be 1 or 2am in your neck of the flatlands?
