Sorry Fran, I have to agree with Scott. I own the PSR 2000 and the Tyros. Side by side and I can tell you straight up that the Tyros is the better sounding of the two. It has a WAY better Key action too. But of course you are spoiled with the Roland Fran. That is fine. I am not saying the Tyros has a better Key feel than the G1000. What I am saying is the Tyros truly does outshine the PSR 2000. The Drums on the Tyros are a lot better. The overall sounds are better and like Scott said "richer, fuller sounding". You have to realize that even though the PSR 2100 has 32mb of Wav ROM, the Tyros still has 3x the Wav ROM of the PSR 2100 and 6x that of the PSR 2000.

Although I still think the PSR 2100's Wav ROM is 'compressed' whereas I believe the PSR 2000's Wav ROM is 'un' compressed. I'm not absolutely certain about that but that's my gut feeling. Any way, that extra 3x and 6x Wav ROM had to go somewhere and Yamaha put it to good use in my opinion. The Tyros has more sparkle imo and the Voices are definitely better. I've also played the PSR 2100 extensively and although there are more Sweet! Live! and Cool! voices on it than the PSR 2000 (and a few other added voices) it is basically the same machine. But I agree that the PSR 2100 is the best Keyboard "dollar for dollar" (for a mid-range Arranger).

PS: Fran, I think you might like the Korg Pa1x Pro. It is suppose to have the best Key action of any Arranger, including the G1000. As we all know many of the sounds are stupendous too. And they should be on the shelves before Christmas so you may want to hint to your wife that you're possibly looking for another Keyboard - (to supplement 'not replace' the G1000).

Best regards,
Mike
