Glenn, the keys look short to me...[pics]..


You can bet, I will be G70 fan someday[since I have not played one yet, it will have to be someday]...I can not imagine that I would be disappointed, since I like the previous models features leading to the G70..

I do like the VA series sounds[stereo samples], but across the board...I still prefer my G1000 for many bread and butter sounds..They sound so realistic to me, that I don't see me parting with the G1000..I have owned 3 VA-7's , and the G1000 has outlived them..

My DisCover5 also has the same sounds as the VA series, but what makes me so high on the DisCover is the Harmonizer and other great features...that make it a keeper for me...
I can in vision that the G70 will probably take the place of this combination[G1000/DisCover5] someday..but for now there is absolutely nothing I miss with this combination..

It is true that the factory styles are better for the most part , then the G1000 factory styles....this means absolutely nothing..as I always say, a style is a style..They are easily replaced in Roland keyboards...Right now I have the G70 styles in my G1000..they are my go to styles.

What I think is going to be the hardest to replace , is the performers ease of operation that the G1000 offers[to me]..

For many G1000 owners , maybe the VR760 organ feature found in the G70 alone, may be worth the change...Roland's draw bars are the best hardware organs...period..

For now I am a happy camper with my antique G1000 and unwanted[according to sales] DisCover5..
