And there I was, thinking you had actually READ this thread...!

I WOULD buy one, if offered. I want SA sounds, I want Mega guitars, I want an arranger for background gigs, and I don't want to pay Tyros prices!

I could make the Yamaha 'sound' work for me, but I can't make the 61 do the same. Much of my playing is piano based, and 76 is a MINIMUM I am willing to work with. I probably wouldn't take it out for band gigs, but put me in a solo position doing light cocktail and dining music, I can't think of a better axe than a 76 S910 (or DGX910!).

What else in the @$2000 range comes close? All 76's apart from toy DGX's etc. are in the $3500 range. And none of them have SA voices and that Yamaha compressed sound. I already GOT a good expensive ballsy 76. I want a cheap smooth one. 61 players have this option. 76 players WOULD like it, too. As I keep saying, I see absolutely NO correlation between the sound you want, and the number of keys you need. They are utterly independent factors. It's not like Korg offer the PA series in ONLY a 76, or Ketron, now... They obviously see that BOTH sizes sell, despite the exact same engine.

Wish Yamaha saw it that way. All it would take, for all the scary talk or corporate 'restructuring', would be Yamaha allowing the DGX division to have access to the full PSR's technology. Hardly a dramatic change. And, if done from the DGX side, no scavenging of existing sales... Maybe a 76 PSR would scavenge sales away from the DGX's, but a DGX910 wouldn't scavenge ANY sales away from the PSR's, from what I can gather here... And up-selling is every company's dream, isn't it?
