Disklavier

I like it.  What I don't like though is they've got rid of the optical drive.  I understand everything's going digital these days and it's more convenient but I like being able to buy the disks second-hand without the need to buy off Yamaha's store.  They're kinda doing what Apple's doing and tieing you into their ecosystem.  If it still had MIDI and a USB input I'm fine there but having no removable media when there's a lot of media out there on the market for sale means that all goes to waste with the new system.  I know things progress and all that but I think they should've gave us the option of an external drive if need be we don't all wanna buy another set of songs if we already own them on disc.

Here is another link with some pics of the new line. Expanding the pic of the controls is very interesting.
