I'll give you another opinion about the G800. I had it for two weeks when it started developing problems. The spring in the Joy-stick broke, and had to be ordered from Lord knows where. The buttons started sticking after a few months-after the paint wore off them. Registration memories wouldn't remember Transpose. The sounds were down a couple of menus, and many were duplicates or so close you couldn't tell them from each other. It has been 7 or 8 years ago and I can't recall everything. Most of the problems I had were addressed in the 1000.
The guy I sold it to never did figure out the operating system entirely. He developed cancer and died and I'm not too sure the G800 didn't cause it!
Seriouly, do yourself a favor and get the G1000.
