Hello!

Thanks for your vision and I need to say: you are very right about that! The G-1000 is still the performance flag-ship and the VA-7 is the partyanimal with brilliant functions/features but lack on performance.
The G-1000 is the King in that way. I intend to buy a EM-2000, because all the keyboard version and buttons are the same except some sliders on the left of the keyboard. I didnt know this difference you mentioned.
For the rest I still think the Korg i30 is the most beautiful professionel looking keyboard on the market with black buttons, lay out and blue touch screen!
