I know it's a matter of taste.... but take my word for it, if you want to make music as a beginner, and not spend a lot of time getting in to the keyboard you do NOT want a G70.

I dont have any experience with Korg Keyboards, so i wouldent be fair if i commented on this. The demos on PA800 sounds very nice.

I have tried a G70 and am currently the happy owner of a Tyros 2. Dont get me wrong - in the right hands the G70 sounds really good, but beginners hands and not the right ones in this situation.

I myself is a absolute beginner and I am having many many enjoyable hours of fun with the Tyros 2. You can play it right out of the box, and i promise you, you are going to spend a lot of time playing music, not programming the keyboard or being frustrated about the Keyboard-User dialog.

My best advice is, go to a music store, sit down and play the keyboards of your choice, and for each keyboard ask yourself these questions:

1. Do i have fun ?
If you dont, dont even consider the keyboard.. move on.

2. Am i inspired and want to go on ?
If you are, keep playing until after closing time.

3. Is the sound and style quality what i expected, Yes or No ?

4. Can my wife accept the price of the Keyboard ? (Remember what flowers do)

In my humble opinion these are the 4 simple questions the beginner should ask.
