Hi fran thanks for that report. Its always good to hear other peoples opinions of this instrument. The key thing that your experience points to is the simple fact that if what you have already fulfilled your needs , why change ? You have very ably described the features that you felt were common in the instruments (G1000 and G70) and pointed to what you felt were the relative advantages etc. However what many G70 users have alluded to in previous posts is the editablility of the instrument compared to its predecesors. Do you not think that with some time and dedication you could be as comfortable with the G70 as you are with the G1000 ?

I have listened to some of the demos that you posted previously of the G1000 and there is no question in my mind that at least from the demos i would choose the G1000 over the G70 but dont you believe that with familiarity the G70 could sound better ?

I mean i dont agree with your opinion regarding the sound qualiy out of the box (but thats just different tastes possibly ) but if you like the sounds already without any tweaking surely that means the work for you to adapt the instrument to your needs is going to be much easier than for someone like me ?

What do you think ?
