actually the high-end CVP is not as dumbed down as you might think, other than having no aftertouch or pitch/mod wheels.

The new CVP will have more piano-orientated features, but will have the same sounds as the Tyros4, and a few that the latter does not have.

People buying a CVP are interested in "piano" first.

Roland does the same with it's KR-series.

Korg's PA-588 is too heavy for a "portable"...it is 51 lbs., even heavier that the portly G-70...add the weight of a necessary flight case, and your looking at a lot to lug.

I'm cutting back a lot on my personal gigging this year, so weight won't be an issue any more.

I'm very tempted by the Tyros4...I have a nice digital piano, so I might buy the T4 for recording purposes, and when I want 88 weighted touch, I'll just midi the piano to the Tyros.

Time will tell...I'm in no hurry.
