I can only re-affirm that I auditioned a G70 (with OS2) too, and still believe Tyros2 sounds far better. I acknowledge though that the G70's keyfeel & 76 note keyboard build more solid (abeit substantially heavier in weight: 32 vs 45.6 lbs and bulkeir), and includes an intuitive user friendly navigation. The lackluster styles sound disappointedly reimiscent of the Roland G800 styles (of which I owned the RA800 module version). In addition, Roland has yet to implement rootless jazz style chord recognition, of which is so critically important to me. If Roland would only come out with a lighter weight E80, or an arranger with rootless jazz chord recognition, I might finally re-consider. When will Roland finally wake up and join Yamaha, Technics, Ketron, and Korg with this important to jazz influenced keyboard player feature? - Scott
