andre_ is a big difference between the two. IMO, the E50 styles and sounds are very advanced and modern, while psr1500 is after all 2-3 years old. now, of course, that depends also if you like batter the yamaha styles or roland's. but i can tell you, after playing both, i would pick E50 at any time!
scott_ to change/choose a sound on E60 is a two step thing. first, press the section (left, right1, right2) button and then press the sound family button. the last sound you used from that family is selected, and at the same time the screen displays 10 sounds (= one page). it's very easy to pick a sound or another page, because you just press what you see on the screen - is very handy! the styles are about the same: press a family button, and the displays shows 10 styles to pick from or the other pages to go to. for me, i think E50 OS is about as simple to use as yamaha's psr. a little bit more complicated with the user programs / registry, but not a big deal.

andre_ if you can not give a try to both, you can be brave and asimilate as much info as you can, listen to all demos available, ask questions, surf the internet, watch pictures... eventualy, you'll know the keyboards good enought to have a general idea. after that, just go for it! oh, should i say also that this worked for ME. for many others, it would be just crazy ordering without trying. diki_ the manuals are improuvable, but at least roland's and korg's are a little bit more professionaly put in the page. psr3000's manual i really did not find it reliable. i think korg pa's manual was the best written, explaining what is in every page from menu and how to get some things done...

I was not suggesting to download the manual of a keyboard,so that you would choose basing yourself on the manual. I meant that you download all the manuals of both keyboards,and compare the features. Compare the demos,everything. Just compare what you can. You should try both boards if you can,but sometimes you can't. As I live in the UK and I can find an E-50 for £ 588 and a Yamaha psr-1500 for £ 750,I would have no particular reason to choose the Yamaha. (after hearing them both on demo) Then again,of course it's only a preference,and of course you should try both if you can. The touchscreen on the Roland seems far more intuitive to me. I just happen to prefer Roland for sounds. True,you get less poliphony (64 notes) but by all means that's not small...I had a Roland xp-80 had 64 notes of poliphony,a fully fledged synthethyzer(superior to arranger keyboards,-in matter of synth sounds and sound editing,not superior to everything-),and I assure you that I used to do quite a bit of sequencing,build complex synth sounds (multilayering etc) and i never runned out of polyphony. You could say that 64 notes of poliphony is fairly safe,they will not be taken up by a few tracks on the sequencer. Then again the Yamaha is excellent too,I am sure it's no piece of crap
