Thanks Niels

I'm happy yet disappointed all at the same time. I kinda want the T2 to win out because I've had several Yamaha arrangers before and I am very comfortable with their Operating systems and there is good user based support. I also like many of their lead instrument sounds.

OTOH, the G70 is beginning to pull at least even in the race ( for me guys.. ) because of the extra keys, the key feel, and the fact that I think both have excellent sounds, but I still hear those ever familiar Yamaha drum and bass sounds that I never really cared all that much for. It also doesn't hurt that my local store has a very good price on the G70.

I'm confident enough that both boards will sound very good, especially when compared to my PA80. Now it comes down to side by side play, and how these boards interact with me, the player. I also realize that I'm kinda different than some other members here, because one of my favorite things ( still )about the PA80 is the layout and interface, while the majority here seemed to strongly dislike it vs comparable Yamaha's in that regard.

Thanks much for the demos Niels
