Having watched lots of Tyros 4 videos, I concluded that there was plenty of inspiration in the T4 to keep me busy for some time. It also means I can afford to keep the Kurzweil, which is a very capable and convenient board to have.

Once again, thanks for all your input. I'll tell you if I made the right call in a few days!


Congratulations on the Tyros4. wink
I still love mine. It is an amazing board and can keep up with the PA4X and T5 when tweaked correctly.
You can really get great results with the octave up and down button to ad 2 octaves to your keys.
You can even assign this function to foot pedals.
Have fun exploring. There is a lot of potential in that machine smile

Well, partially because I've been making a closer study of how most people are playing these things. But again, mostly economics. Yes, if there was a 76-key version of the T4, I would probably have gone for that. But there isn't. So given I'm not going to be playing Beethoven sonatas on an unweighted keyboard in any circumstances, I decided that I could live with the compromises, and changed my mind. Last time I checked, there was no law against it.
