Fran,

My Roland buddy tells me the G70 and G1000 were sold in the home section of the music store along with digital pianos and arrangers...didn't sell well when it was promoted as a "pro" instrument.

Sales overall for both instruments in my area were very low in comparison to the high end PSR and Tyros1/Tyros2.

Perhaps the area where you live had a different experience, but that's how it was here in Eastern Canada.
