I agree that the g800 sounds are indeed a notch above the e86. I also agree totally that Rolands 16 track sequencer is much easier to use than the tyros. I was never happy with that aspect of the tyros. Its true that some of the yamaha sounds have built in vibrato that u cant remove but i think they used it in the appropriate sounds and to me it sounds realistic. The tyros styles are more "in your face" than the g1000. This is either liked or disliked. The tyros2 multipads are fantastic to use with the styles.
