Hi Steve

Good luck on your new adventure.

Have you tried out the G70 in person, or just heard the demo's?

Just in case, I'd like to relate 2 different times I was sold just by hearing the demo's.

The first time I heard a certain model, I said I want that. I was lucky enough to be able to try out the PA80. It didn't sound even close to the sequenced demo's. I did not get it. Had no desire for it.

The second time when there was a closeout on the Technics KN2600. Everybody said it sounded just like the KN7000, had the same sound engine etc. The online demo's sounded fantastic. I unfortunately sold my PSR2000 to get it. I bought it at the wholesale dealer closeout price of $395, as I was working for a music retailer yet at that time. I thought how could I go wrong?

It sounded like absolute crap. I felt like I was overcharged even at the closeout price. It had nothing over Casio.

I don't plan on ever buying another keboard again until I get my hands on it, unless I can return it if I don't like it.

Best of luck in what ever you do.

For those that happen to like the PA80 and KN2600, I say, great, good for you, I'm glad you're happy. My intent was not to offend anyone but only to express my honest opinion, and a little hard learned advice along with it.

Scott
