Toy'os or Tyros?

Tyros 1 & 2 have been around for a while now and as more and more manufacturers produce new instruments, was the tyros ever designed to stand the test of time. The keyboard looks the same as the Tyros 1 and has the same backings (90% being just re-voiced) so what does the Tyros offer musicians that other keyboards don't? Well from our own study of this instrument it seems that it has little more to offer musicians than any other keyboard on the market - so we ask " is Tyros the new toy or is it a serious instrument?"
Lots of people own a Tyros 1 or 2, but how many of them are good players to a high standard? and is this the attraction to the Tyros keyboard. Is it that you can turn it on and get a good sound out of it or is it the fact that it has more to offer.
Research so far would indicate that it's a simple case of easy to play and easy to sound professional. If this is the case, what happens to high standards of musical education, after all, any fool can turn a keyboard on and press one touch setting and single finger chords? Long gone are the days of playing your own intros and endings, nowadays its done by a button, so even the musical creativity of constructing your own intro has been left up to the designers of the instrument, where does it stop. Will Tyros 3 have a button marked PLAYER OPTIONAL? or will someone actually realise that manufacturing instruments of this type has not only killed the organ market, but is slowly watering down the ability and talents of the musician required to "Play" these instruments. Is there a keyboard on the market that you can sit down to and play live without the requirement of automatics and over-done backings or are we all destined to play the same style, same sounds and same intros and endings - what ever happened to creativitiy!
We have listened to 6 different musicians featured on utube playing Tyros, all of which are located in different countries, and one thing is common throughout them all - they sound the SAME. The intro is the same, the backings are the same, the only part that is unique is the right hand which varies according to ability - and even then the performances are pretty poor.
