Oh, and thanks John! Yes, I hope my passion shows! I've loved this type of Yamaha instrument since my first Electone and keyboards nearly 5 decades ago!

Again no, the 809 and 909 both contain the Genos *1* guts, which I've known for a while, and I had previously stated to the OP back in March or so.

The G2 is *totally* different.
Also Lee, you're possibly thinking about this the wrong way:*

They're not flaunting that they have one and you don't. It's more of "it's so good we bought one ourselves".
My dad taught me that you go to a car dealer, let's say Toyota, if everyone there is driving a Toyota (or Lexus or Scion, same company) then that's a pretty good sign. And he's right, i've seen car dealers (without naming names) where every staff car was Toyota, Honda, Mazda, but that's not what they were selling.

In other words, their products are so good all the staff buy them themselves; again there's another digital piano dealer locally. But *all* their staff own Yamaha digitals. Not exactly an endorsement for their own brand, you know?

*then again, I only deal with the BC rep, not the Ontario rep, so I have no idea what they're like. But our BC rep is super nice, very professional.

Mark, the fact that a Yamaha rep plays a Yamaha keyboard does lend credibility to the company - no argument there. What destroys said credibility is when a senior sales rep talks to a customer who has spent well over $30,000 on Yamaha keyboards over the years, and says, "Yamaha Japan won't be sending any Genos keyboards for Canadian customers for at least another 5 weeks. But be patient, you'll love this new improvement over the Tyros. I've had mine for a week now, and just love it."

If that's not totally unprofessional and not enough to piss you off, then you tell me what is. When I hung up the phone, I was fuming at her attitude. I was wanting to find out who her boss was and have a serious talk with him or her about the condescending attitude I had just received. I would have asked for her to be fired!! God help her, if I were her boss. I spent 25 years in my own business and did very well because I never talked down to a customer. She wouldn't last five minutes in her own business.

End of yet another rant. Now, we were talking about the Genos 2... ;D?
