Out of the top 3 Korg , yamaha and Roland in my opinion the Tyros 2 Yamaha is the best acoustic and realistic sounding instrument. If you have not heard the Super Articulation voices then you are truly missing something. I spent extensive time and research into the PA1X the Tyros2 and the G70. I wont comment on the G70 as some of my views will upset people but after about 6 months reviewing theses instruments on paper and actually trying playing them i chose the PA1X. It was simply because it had all the components that i was looking for in an arranger.....but If the Tyros had had a comprehensive sequencer,a sampler, onboard speakers and onboard fully editable sounds i would have bought the tyros2. The sound quality alone based on the SA voices almost persuaded me to buy it despite its lack of the above facilities.

If you are simply going to play the instrument and not write or produce tracks yourself , then i would strongly guide you towards the tyros 2.I think its better however that if you get the opportunity to try all three instruments yourself, then do so.
