if given the choice?

i do like the natural, realistic styles of Ketron stuff, but i think Yamaha has AUDYA beat in the sound department...

the other thing is AUDYA is about $5k and Tyros 3 about $4k

thoughts?

Yes, my thoughts are that you can't compare something that isn't available and that nobody has heard in its finished form. And you can't compare prices that haven't been set.
However, to me it's a no-brainer, even if the price is higher. The vocal harmonizer and drums alone are worth the difference. I must disagree also about the other sounds. Ketron has some wonderful sounds and the Audya is supposed be even better. We'll see when it arrives. We won't know what it costs until dealers get them and know what they have to sell them for to make a decent profit.
I will sell you all the T3s you want for $4000. each, btw. I'm almost cetain I could buy them and resell them for that price and still make money.
Just my opinion, but that's what you asked for.

i own a G-70

i want either the AUDYA or Tyros 3

would be great to compare BOTH side by side,

but i guess we gotta wait for Audya and hope it makes its way into some music stores near NY/NJ

until then, i will have to keep using my G-70

The US distributor for Ketron is near you. You can for certain see one when they arrive.
