I wonder how many people will go back to Tyros 5 after 1 year
Last year the Korg Pa4x was a big favourite.
‘Best keyboard ever,- last keyboard I will ever buy,- got everything’
Nearly everyone I know that bought a Korg Pa4x has sold them
Including the big players on synthzone
Couldn’t have been that good
I see many people struggling with Genos
Will they go back to the Wonderful T5
Only time will tell,

My guess, or probably it will be a fact, is that therer are very few that will leave Genos if already bought one.
There will be more people going forward to T5 from older models, I see the used ones sell quite fast.
PA4X as well as Genos is a supeb keyboard, just as all TOTL arrangers. But there may be personal preferences to fill that's not in all of the models. Just like shoes, one size don't fit all.
If you've been at several fora for a while, you will see that very often, or maybe always, users tend to say: 'what I have now is the best'. Simple as that.
I dont' know how many you know that has sold PA4 or other arrangers, but this is the human nature, sell and buy new. Specially if you can afford to do so.
As you know, the grass is ALWAYS greener at the other side of the fence. But when you're over there, what side are most green? Yeah, the other side.
My guess is that not many already bought Genos will return to T5, but when a new Genos or whatever see the light, many will go ahead for new challenges.
Myself, it's no secret that I've not been much Yamaha fan, not even when I had the T4. But, to be honest, Genos is in my ears and eyes the best arranger from Yamaha so far. It do fill my needs, knowledge and bad talent, and that's what matters, not what everybody or many others did, do or does. I'm loving it more and more for each day when play and explore.
If I deside to sell, it will not be because it's not any good arranger, but simply because there some other or new challenges down the road that try to catch my attention. A Korg PA?X or Genos 2, who cares?
But as you say, only time will tell.
