Yeah, but if they did that.., they wouldn't be able to charge nearly four grand and expect Motif players to pay that. One problem here is the huge price difference between these two keyboards.

The 61 key Motif XS costs much less than the Tyros 3 (even the Tyros 2). The Motif isn't "less pro", but actually more pro orientated than the Tyros..., but I still go by what I was told by a Yamaha rep years ago.., in that top arrangers have always been more expensive because the market continues to pay the price and the targeted market "tends" to have more disposable income...

Times may have changed a bit since that statement, but the mentallity on the pricing sure hasn't
