I would tend to think that if Diki, or anyone else on the Zone, for that matter, would pose a logical argument to Yamaha, or any other arranger keyboard manufacturer, pertaining to an added feature that would benefit ALL users, current and potential, they would listen to his or her plea.

In my case, the change to a TFT display made it so everyone could readily see the display from any angle in both low and high intensity light conditions. I asked for a sunlight viewable display, which they did not provide, but the new displays are really incredible, which is evident on the S-910.

I also asked for high-intensity LED indicator lamps on the buttons so they could be seen outdoors--they didn't provide them. Much of the reasoning behind this was made perfectly clear when a poll taken about 10 years ago revealed that less than 1/10 of 1-percent of the performers played outdoors. Therefore, when you take into consideration that the percentage of pro players is probably less than 1-percent of the total, arranger keyboard market, then the percentage, or actual number that perform outdoors must be minuscule.

Cheers,
