Does the T4/6 use the same keyboard, faders and encoders as the P4/6?
No, they appear to be totally different. The whole point of the T4/T6 is their "second generation" parts, most importantly the keybed.

The keys of my P6 became an ugly yellow colour and the faux rubbery faders and encoders became sticky and very unpleasant to touch (I did not spill anything om my P6).
Very strange. I have a first gen P4 that's 5-6 years old (I got it at launch). Mine are still blazing white and nothing is sticky on the knobs or encoders.

The T4/6 doesn’t look like an improvement to me, I’ll pass.
The keybed is improved, the pads are improved, the buttons and encoders are improved... the only thing that arguably appears worse is the LCD display and lack of motorized fader (which, let's face it, was mostly a gimmick).

I still hope that they will also update the P1: imagine a T1 with 8 motorized faders and beautiful aluminium encoders with led rings that show you their current value, that would be an instant buy for me.
Yeah, we've been pestering them for something like this ever since they appeared on the market 6 years ago, but they've made no motion towards doing that. I think this new Panorama line is indicative of where they're going. First time buyers should probably pick up the T-Series unless there's something about the P-Series that they really need.
