I would expect at least one (if not all) of the three major manufactures to refresh these lines at some point in 2010. However, that being said, if we were all to hold off an impending purchase 'just in case' something bigger and better came along, I expect we'd never buy any electronics products. If you do not mind waiting until the middle of January or so, I would hold off at least until the NAMM show. Cheers, James x Employed by Kawai Japan, however the opinions I express are my own.

I recall the Avant Grand being unveiled at NAMM, however it only became available in dealer stores towards the end of summer. Of course, Avant Grand is a rather special product. A piece of junk like a P-85 successor could be knocked out a couple of weeks after being unveiled. Cheers, James x Employed by Kawai Japan, however the opinions I express are my own.
