I've given up on the 76 key wish for the Tyros and bought a T2 anyway. At the suggestion of many other forum members, I am making a special effort to learn how to do chord voicings on an arranger keyboard with only 12 keys in the left hand split section. So far so good, but I still need practice.
The T2 is everything I had hoped for, it really rocks!
The Direct Access function as well as other quick functions let you move about this board very gracefully during a performance and soon becomes second nature in that the complexity of the board goes away and you focus on the music more.
