This, George is the crux of the matter...........
So few people ever get to play a G70 because of Roland's decision to market them through the very poorly equipped and FAR less numerous CK division, rather than the regular MI division that marketed the G1000 so effectively, that all they have to rely on is the VERY partisan user reviews they see here (and ANYONE that buys a keyboard THAT expensive, unheard, must have ones of steel!).

FINALLY, a well stated review that isn't immediately drowned in a chorus of 'My Tyros rocks, your choice sucks' from the peanut gallery (mostly, as far as I can tell, hobbyists that want something out of the box that makes them sound good without effort, rather than a keyboard they can put their own stamp on and tweak to the way THEY need, not what the instrument dictates). Perhaps the mention of Worship makes them pause before committing a sonic sin!!

Anyway, you are correct..... before you decide against the G70...... PLAY ONE! MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP!

Don't buy a Tyros until you've spent a couple of hours on one (and remember to try editing a Style or SMF rather than just play....... you haven't lived until you realize how easy Roland make editing......)
