The G-70 sound engine is actually new if compared with VA's one.
The effect section has been strongly improved and a lot of new sounds (more than 150) has been included:
Grand Piano, VK-8 Hammond Clone, Electric Guitars with Distortion/Overdrive, Nylon and Steel Guitar, Saxophones, Flutes, Hammond preset tones, Electric Pianos, Electric Basses, Choirs, Leads, Pads, Accordions, Oriental sounds and Drum Kits,...
All of these sounds are brand new sounds or coming from last Roland products.

Maybe you don't like anyone of these new sounds, but you cannot say that there's no appreciable difference with VA.
