I had a chance to play with a G-70 for about an hour last monday and to me it's just like all the other arrangers I've played. Some of it is good, some is OK and some stinks. I certainly was not personally impressed enough to want to spend THAT much money on it.

The only thing I would REALLY like to have is the keybed and a good part of that is the rounded sides of the keys that allow really smooth organ smears (glissandos) with no damage to your hands or fingers, plus, of course, it is 76 keys.

I'll keep my Tyros, thank you. AND, if the Tyros II is that expensive I'll just keep my Tyros I and get more soft synths where there is a LOT more bang for the buck sound wise. Since I don't gig out with it and I don't make my living playing it, I don't need a new one.
