I could not make that statement, not being privvy to the Yamaha R&D inside information.

What I do know is that Yamaha has done a LOT of work in the field, from acoustic grands to this new offering that combines digital sampling with modeling and also evidently represents a new design in the tactile weighted keyboard department as well.

Yamaha also makes quite a few economically priced keyboards, as you know. And they take good advantage of the higher end models, too, using at least part of the famous C-1 acoustic grand samples in them. No company could do that for "just" economical keyboards.

There is the ship and then there is the flagship.

The flagship is not for everybody, and shouldn't be.
