Good post, Don.

You're right, it is great to have so many choices.

I'm glad you got to try a Tyros4...I had no problem getting a case, I got one from a company called Levi for the Tyros3, which also fits the Tyros4 as they are basically in the same cabinet.

I'm not a fan of sounding like a 20 piece orchestra all the time either...I prefer a smaller combo type sound (up to 5-piece with maybe a string pad) for 90% of what I play...still, it is nice to be able to do other genres without feeling like something's missing.

I can't seem to find a Korg or a Ketron (even rarer) arranger anywhere in my district...they are like Yeti...the last Korg I played was an I-series, which was pretty darn good...I remember the Sax being well above average.

Thanks for your detailed reply.
