Yamaha kills me - I don't know how much the onboard speakers and
extra weight cost Yamaha to produce, but whatever that is, take that
off the price of the p250 and give me a p250 without those darn
speakers. i'll pay a premium beyond $1000 for that.

that would be the perfect rig for me. the p90/p120 isn't the same as
the p250 and it's more than just the vibration caused by the
speakers. their higher end board tacks on 25 lbs for speakers i
don't want.

in comparison though, it makes the organ manufacturers look very
customer oriented - all the clones are light, if an organ is heavy
it's because it's giving you the added utility of a second keyboard
(not some silly little onboard speakers). there's something for
everyone now.
