If they ever do, i am sold, 7 engines, 64 GB of sample memmory... everything in a single instrument...

The PA4x has certainly won me over, made a good deal on the Tyros5 and sold it...[/b]
Have you ever thought of a Havian 30 after you strip away the furniture and combine it with a Pa4x?

Havian 30 is a low end digital piano combined with a low end arranger.(pa300) no there are way to many shortcommings for my taste..

Listening to the new Korg Grand Stage against the Roland RD2000 the former sounds so much better than the latter. Never thought much of Korg Stage Pianos and always used Yamaha Stage Pianos but the new Korg is well worth a look when it arrives I think
The grand stage sounds like a kronos, and your ears might have adjusted to your Kronos... making you favor the sound you have recently played most..

Its hard to tell sound quallity from a youtube video...

I disagree with that.... Younger people only buy 88 keys, they all come from a piano background over in Holland.. If you want new fresh young people join the arranger world, you go 88 keys..

Why does it feel everyone in the arranger key worlds looks at it trough the glasses of a 60 year old?

I think in the long term having 88 key with high end piano synth and organ sounds is the only way for arrangers to survive..
I'm a plus 60 year old player I purchased a Yamaha Clavionova CVP307 and always wished it was portable to take on gigs. Eventually I settled for a PSR3000 that did the job for gigs I play, but I would have loved to have had a portable 88 key arranger with a piano touch.
