Hi Fred,
If I were in your shoes, I'd stick with the KN7. Two of our keyboard members sold their KN7s complete with stand, floppies, some SMF files, SD cards, Foot Controller, Expression Pedal, carrying case, cover and 2 small amplified speakers - all for £800. They rushed out to buy the Tyros 1 because of the preset songs (one is also a singer) but are both disappointed because, firstly it isn't as User Friendly as the Technics and secondly some of the sounds are nowhere near as good as the Technics (like for like that is). In fact, one of them has now bought another KN7 which was advertised locally but what he paid for it, I've yet to find out.
I cannot pass comment on the Tyros 2 as I haven't even seen or heard it yet, but again one of these men who now has the Tyros 1 said when he had a demonstration, there was not enough extras to warrant the cost in changing from the 1 to the 2. However, I think that is the individual's choice.
I know at some stage we will be forced to look elsewhere but think about your SD KN Explorer Tool, it works so well with the KN7 but will it work with other keyboards? Only you can answer that.
All the best.
Aud (U.K.)

Hello All, Thanks for all your replies. I have decided to stick to my KN7000 for the time being and at least not "rush" to get me a Tyros and pay $1000-$2000 extra.... Why? Well, yesterday I went to Andijk, in the north of our country where is the headquarter of Dorcas Aid International and Dorcas Hulp Nederland. I am volunteer for them and was invited on the open day/celebration of 25 years jubilee. It was agreat day with a lot of impact. I saw a DVD about street children in Ethiopie and Russia: one made a cearton box to a house, others live in a concrete "ruin" in Moscow without decent toilet and heating. On the other hand we also received email last week from a young woman who we sponsored for the age of 8 until she became 19. Now she is 23 and found my email address and sent all her diploma's. She lives in Ghana and because of our sponsorship she could go to school and stidied computer science. Temporarily she has to work some time to dela with some financial problems, but will continue with VB.NET. This email with all the attachments was of course a deligth for us and opened my eyes: A better world... starts with us ....ALL With only little money you can make a difference in the life of poor children and grannies in Russia, Eastern Europe, North, East, Sout Africa.... I don't tell this all to boast about it. Just to show all is so relative and I reset priorities. For example there is a Dutch site http://www.voedselhulp.nl (foodhelp) where you, by clicking on the butoon of one of the sponsor businesses/organizations you open their website, but also donate a meal to the poor in those countries. This meal is paid by the sponsoring business. More info about Dorcas: http://www.dorcas.net Regards, Fred
