I don't agree, Bill...as far as "top notch sounds', the Yamaha Tyros4 has no equal as far as I'm concerned.

It's the perfect keyboard for my needs, encompassing exceptional one man band performance, super accurate sounds for studio work as well as styles and pads, and ideal "band" sounds if I ever need them.

Bill, above all, I'm a "live" player, not a dabbler, software collector, or much of an extreme tweaker either...the instrument has to perform many functions and roles exceptionally well, which the Yamaha Tyros4 does in spades. My way of expression is actually playing, not having round and round discussions on the latest VST or recording software...I leave that to those who want and need that sort of thing.

If you need VST's and other additions to do your work, that's okay...I do not; I'm very content with what the arranger gives me.
