Thanks george for the great report.

Roland and Yamaha did as expected. I would love to try out that new GEM board, I used to own a GEM keyboard and have been very pleased with it. Gem has been following the same trend as Roland, they come out with a board with speakers and 61 "synth" keys first, and then later a pro version without speakers, a robust housing and 76 semi weighted keys (like my G1000).
