I remain very very satsified with Tyros2, but . . . if Roland ever adds jazz (aka 'rootless) chord recognition to the E80, nothing wrong with a two arr keyboard family, is there?
I've not played the E80 myself, but I know someone (a pro) who has, and who was very impressed, especially for its sound improvment over the G70, which he also played. He's got no plans to sell his Tyros2, but admitted that with the E80, Roland has now finally released an impressive sounding keyboard to compete with Tyros2, and healthy competition is a GOOD thing, to keep Yamaha on it's toes. - Scott
