HIP,HIP, HOORAY,, Uncle Dave defends my favorite keyboard and he is correct. I can't understand why anyone that liked the G800 does not love the G1000, there are so many improvements on the G1000 and software upgradable, not to mention the legitament 16 track sequencer and header post edit. Even the insert effects alone is worth the upgrade to the 1000..Zip and SCSI to boot...Come on!! it's a no brainer..
