Honestly I like the new bigger display,....and perhaps some of the new styles which hopefully will play on the S950 also? Arps vs multipads? big deal, I'll have to actually play one to make a better opinion.Other then that not much to get excited about yet vs my S950?

Mike, just another great example of how wonderful an arranger keyboard can sound in the hands of a highly skilled player. Lets be honest, any keyboard sounds only as good as the person that's playing it, and as long as that person has taken the time to explore all of the options offered by the operating system. Without that knowledge and skill, none of them sound very professional.

Now, if I were not headed rapidly toward retirement, I would seriously consider a new S-970, but that ain't gonna happen, at least not for the foreseeable future. I'll stick with my trusty S-950, which does all that and then some.

You're welcome, Gary! I agree that it's the player that makes the difference, but if a player can make a so-so keyboard sound good, imagine how he or she can make a great keyboard sound.

Thanks for the links, Mike,

Thanks for posting Mike! I am trying to sell my S910 now and will definitely upgrade to S970 once the S910 is safely in someone else's music room. I also look forward to the black/grey case compared to the silver one on the S910.... upgrading looks at this point to be a "win-win" for S900/S910 (and earlier) owners!

You are welcome, Randy.

I prefer my keyboards black, too. Somehow, they just look more serious and professional.
