Hi,
I tend to agree with you, when you compare the features and the sounds and the good old value for money Korg are going to be a strong contender.

Kong wins this comparison. Much cleaner sound than Yamaha.

Hi Ron,
I think things will get very interesting shortly as these 2 keyboards are priced very close together, and one has a lot of facilities compared with the other
I know which one I would go for if I was in the market,

The 970 won it for me. The sounds are much fuller and the styles were better. I would not want to swap my 970 as it is a great little keyboard.

Hi Eileen,
I have a Yamaha and I know what you mean about the sound its great CD quality, IF I was going to buy another Keyboard to sit along side of the Yamaha I think I would go for the Korg just for the different sounds as Korg does have a bit more edgy a sound to it and some added facilities to it also

Hi Fred,
The styles thing is a valid point, but with that many be converted from Yamaha to Korg and vice versa for me I dont think its that big an issue, but what is a bigger is the tremendous amount of 3rd party support there is for Yamaha as opposed to Korg.
