Marketing...
They where probably low on stock on the s970 and instead of building another stack of s970, they must have tought lets release a slightly update s970 to sail on the Genos hype.(that was huge at the moment of release)

I agree a parts surplus sell off scenario.... A trickled down MOTL Genos will certainly be a hit in the near future imo.

I doubt it...
There never was a motl Tyros, was there? Most things, like the keybed, the bigger movable screen, sa2 voices and more never made it to the psr series, did it?

I think the key added feature is that it supports the Chord Tracker app and the S970 doesn't. Maybe the S970 hardware didn't support the requisite Digital Rights Management? (don't know, just guessing here.) My instinct would be to get a used Tyros or just wait for the next MAJOR upgrade, PSR-S1000 or whatever it will be called.

To be honest, I have no idea but assume it is just pure business.
