Dear Genesys;

My worry is that like the tyros, and the Alesis, that manufuacturers switch to plastics in construction. This makes me concerned about durability. I believe that the extra weight is due to the metal cases & extra keys on the pa1x & G-70. I myself would prefer a metal case , and semi-weighted keys. I would accept the extra 10-15lbs for these concessions. How many times have we heard on this forum that the tyros look and feel is cheap ( i.e. doesn't live up to the expectation of a "top model arranger")

Below is the explanation of extra weight

Tyros= 61 smaller then normal keys, pastic body( non-weighted keys)
Alesis 6D= 61 keys, plastic body 30.4 lbs

G-70 & Pa1x= 76 keys + semi wieghted, metal cases.

Regards;
