Why doesn't the 'feel' of the keyboard mean THAT much to you all???
After all, the most direct connection between you and what you play is the keyboard 'feel', and yet, most of the time, it is relegated to the back of the list in what is 'essential'.
No sound is THAT inspiring if you are fighting the lack of 'feel' in the physical keyboard. There is a reason people love the 'feel' of a piano. It feels good!! There is a connection between how you hit the wood, and what you hear, and a good keyboard (I won't lie, I believe the G70/1000/VA76 ARE the best all-rounders) makes you believe that.
Don't buy until you FEEL that connection. That is how MUSIC gets made!
And to Roel and previous posters, if you are saying the internal styles don't inspire you, in effect you are saying this is the only thing that makes this a good instrument or not........... Why not edit the styles (easy to do on the G70), make up your own, adapt others, etc. rather than say 'Well, I powered it up and with no effort at my end, it didn't do everything I dreamed of.........'
The more YOU have to put into it, the more it's sound becomes YOUR sound, not someone else's.
