I think its not fair to think that those unhappy with the g70 should not consider the new e80. Remember this is NOT to the G70 as the EM2000 was to the G70. This 61 key keyboard will be more expensive than the 76 key G70. And theres quiet a bit of new stuff. Will it sound better than the g70 out of the box? I think so. And theyve put in new sounds and drum kits. I think a small drawback is that this is the heaviest roland arranger. But heavy weights deliver a knockout punch
