I couldn't help thinking how ironicly funny your statement struck me.

because even after 18 years of ownership, I continue to think my Steinway B piano an 'amazing sounding' instrument, and have no interest in trading it for something else, yet even though I too feel my Tyros still sounds fantastic, I'm admitedly always anxious to see what Tyros II or another arranger will offer as well. Interesting how 'electronic arranger keyboard instruments' don't tend to satisfy over the 'long haul' the way their acoustic counterparts (pianos, guitars, horns, brass, reeds & sax instruments, etc) do. Then again, I suppose it's because acoustic instrument manufacterers don't release new model improvements every year either.

Acoustic players typically purchase a specific instrument to which they develop a 'life long' playing relationship with. Just words for thought. Scott
