I suppose the idea is that if you can afford a Tyros4, you can certainly be able to spend a mere $25.95 each for some very high quality extra voices (which you only buy once). Today, $25.95 will hardly buy dinner for two, at even a modest restaurant, so, I guess it is all in how we perceive the value of what we get for our investment.

Of course the Tyros4 is intended for the "home player" market (it is the largest and most profitable), but those who buy Tyros instruments, in my humble but experienced opinion, are mostly advanced players, with a fair number of them being professionals (playing for money).

It is simple...the Tyros4 too rich and expensive or complex for your tastes? Don't buy one. Buy an S910 or it's equivalent.

Not everyone invests in a Lexus...some purchase Camry and Corolla. You are probably quite happy with your Camry or Corolla, so why be concerned about those of us who choose the Lexus with it's relatively higher priced options, but more extensive standard equipment?

The idea that these voices are "ridiculously overpriced" is simply YOUR opinion, and certainly not representative of the many Tyros owners that I deal with everyday.

I'm also guessing that you aren't, or will never be, a Tyros4 user/owner, which is, in my opinion, a good thing.

Enjoy what you play...I do.
