Some people sell their G-70 to get a Tyros2 and some people sell their Tyros2 to get a G-70. Why? Because we all think differently regarding "what sounds good".

It is impossible for me to comment on your experiences with you neighboor's G-70. What I CAN say is that I have heard several musicians, who hadn't been able to get anything out of their G-70's! Their instruments sound like sh..

However, the musicians, who have the skills to the master the G-70, can certainly make something out of the instrument And "yes" - the G-70 is definitely not an OTB instrument! People who haven't got the technical skills and/or the time to work with the G-70 are often turning to the Tyros2, because it plays right out of the box, which is BTW a great characteristic for an arranger! Roland could learn a lot from Yamaha regarding this!
