I have played both. The sounds that i think are better on the 3000 are brass, saxes, flutes, strings and guitars. The G70 has better choir voices. Both have good trumpets and synth sounds. Piano sounds i think the 3000 has an edge. Stylewise the 3000 has that "in your face feel" the g70 does not. The g70 has better keys, better vocal harmony. The 3000 is easier to use live because it does not have a touch screen. The g70 has a far better 16 track sequencer than the 3000
