our dealer synchronises their prices with Thomann. So it is SX900 for €2300 and sx700 for €1300. A few years ago I got the s700 for less than €1000, so there is a 30% price increase.
Hi :
All Yamaha keyboards are very reliable and popular keyboards. Old or new, high end or low end.
They are ALL great keyboards !🍀
When new Yamaha arrangers are launched we are always reading here the newest models are oh so much better than their predecessors.
We all know as soon as the Genos2 will be available, again we will hear from some members of this forum, the Genos2 is so much better than the Genos.😀

Coming from s900 to s770 (skipped 2 generations) I can say the s770 is a better keyboard, mainly because I paid for it half of what I did for the s900. Now I can install extra sounds and other content, there are more SA voices, etc. Whether the extra content is of good quality is another question. There are much better drum voices on the s770 than s900. So yes, it is a (much) better keyboard.
If you are not a performer and do not play these keyboards to make money, you can safely skip 2 generations of these. Buying each generation makes less sense for the home player. Besides, they are updating these things so often that I lost the numbers. If my memory serves me well, since I got the s900 in 2007 we’ve had s900, s910, s950, s970, s975, sx900 - 6 generations for 13 years, meaning they update the keyboards every other year on average.
