I am sitting here loving/hating my new E60. I would probably be sitting here instead loving/hating an s900/s700 if it had 76 keys. because even though the E60 has other advantages (better keyfeel, better button layout, a dedicated balance knob, the killer scat vocal sound and a few others)it has more disadvantages (too many to go into here). another Yamaha conundrum: in their ypg and dgx 76-key series, they omit the "live!" grand piano sound that they offer on the 88's. the piano sound in the 76 is for the birds. so if they drop the 76's, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. By omitting a decent piano sound, they have created the "no-market" 76. And I can't understand why they have created the s700 whose only appeal vs s900 is price.. why didn't they make the s700 a 76-key at a higher price? I'll bet that would have sold a ton more s700's without hurting s900 sales!
