Jckeys, now your just adding fuel to my confusion. I too have to admit the G70 has almost everything I am looking for in a arranger. The only thing missing are the many raving customers. From where I sit, it seems there are may owners with mixed emotions about the board and a few here on this forum have sold their units and purchased other boards.

Your right, I should go and play one and prove to myself whether it's worthy or not.

Tyros 2 is out of the question since it will NOT have 76 keys. It won't even be a consideration for me unless Yamaha dramatically change their position and improves the keybed and adds 76 keys. It is really starting to aggravate me; playing the Tyros keyboard. Grrrrrrr!
