Yes it does have some good sounds and some decent styles, but when I thought of how easy the G1000 is to use and that it still sounds decent to say how old it is, the G70 didn't grab me by the balls (pardon the expression) in order to purchase one. The Tyros 2 did manage to grab me so that now sits above my G1000 and Korg Triton.
Each to their own
The demo by the way had a great Dixie style and was a good rendition, but the brass/trumpet sounds were very poor comparing them to the Tyros2.

The reputation of the G-70 still suffers from the unfortunate birth and the unfinished early versions of the instrument. In my opinion several statements like Craig's are coming from people, who base their statements on experiences done with the early versioned G-70's. That has become the unfortunate destiny of the G-70. Nevertheless, I think that Niels's demos obviously show that the current version of the G-70 is back in business! I respect that people think that Tyros2 solo sounds are better than the G-70 solo sounds. But within my ear the G-70 outcompetes the Tyros2. It is interesting that we have so different opinions regarding sound... You might find this webpage interesting. Here I have gathered opinions about the G-70 for a while.
