What a difference a year or so makes...

Back then the T2 'ruled', the G70 'sucked', and the PSR3k was preferred by many over the T2! (built in speakers, cost, light weight etc.)...

They are all still basically the same machines.

Sometimes you can read TOO many member reviews, and get caught up in the collective. The advice about defining your OWN needs, and then going out and trying everything yourself, to find what meets that need is the best I have ever heard.

Everyone plays differently. Everyone plays and likes different musics. Everyone likes a different 'sound'. Everyone has different technical skills (needed to operate some of the more complex arrangers). Everyone has different physical needs (weight, key number, speakers etc.).

Expecting ANYONE else's opinion or views (including mine!) to have much relevance to your own needs is optimistic at best.

So I would guess the operative word here is "DIFFERENT"

Hi. I’m new to this forum so please bear with me. I’ve been reading that quite a few people are disappointed with the specifications of the new PSR S900 over the PSR 3000. It appears that the difference isn’t that big.

However, I’ve had a PSR 2000 for many years now and have been really pleased with it. I’ve just ordered a PSR S900 for about £970 ($1,915). Is this a better/more worth while upgrade?

I’ve always thought that it’s best to upgrade every 2-3 model keyboards rather than the next model each time. This way the difference is a lot more noticeable and you get better value for money each time.

I definitely agree with this. Unless the new model is the start of a brand new line, most manufacturers change maybe 10-20% of the sounds and features each model release...

So, to get a model that is twice as good as your current, you have to wait two or three models.

Mind you, you say you have already ordered an S900... isn't it perhaps just a little late to ask this question? As soon as it arrives, you will be able to make your own decision about it!

I agree that it does appear a bit late but I was 99% certain that there would be a big difference, I just wanted to get other peoples options as the how much difference and what those differences are.

You made a good choice buddy. Comparing to the Psr-2000, the S900 is indeed a great improvement. More styles, more live, sweet voices, Articulated voices, Usb audio recorder, overall, it's the closest arranger to the Tyros II.
