I was a Korg guy first, but when my friend had his Tyros sounding so good , I wanted that sound too. But Tyros $$ wasn't in the budget for me so I bought a psr 950. Coudn't get that TOTL sound out of the MOTL arranger and didn't keep it. If I wasn't comparing chances are it "may" have worked. Went back to Korg for awhile (preferred the navigation), but what am I playing today? His old Tyros..

So is a TOTL keyboard a model (or two) back a better near equal $$ investment than a new MOTL keyboard all things considered?

And thanks for sharing your experience Jim. Not pleasant when it involves so much stress, work, and money that is not easy to come by these days.
