Hellboy44, I too, own a PA1x Pro, and agree with everything Spaulding said. I also have a Tyros2 but have had no experience with the G70 (used to have a G1000). I would stop short of actually recommending the PA1x only because I won't recommend ANY keyboard, only share MY experience with it. My own feeling is that the Tyros2 has the easier and more intuitive OS and that certain utility functions are more cumbersome on the PA1X, but in a live gig situation, especially if using the sequencing function, the PA1x may actually be the easier of the two to control. The touch sensitivity of the touch-screen could be better but is not a deal-breaker...you sort of learn HOW to touch it (like with a woman). The OOTB piano is not a problem for me as I think that it cuts through the mix better than the T2 which sounds better when playing solo piano. IT IS HEAVY, but after years of hauling around a B3 and (2) Leslies, I feel like a wimp complaining about the weight of a modern portable keyboard. Still, I wouldn't recommend it if you're over 80 . Good luck with your choice. My only advice; if possible, buy from a place where you can return it (or at least trade it) without too much of a penalty if you don't like it.
