Twiggy[G800] and Pam Anderson[G1000], Do you get the picture? The 1000 does everything the 800 can do..It adds a zip drive[a must], on board memory to retain user stles, insert effects, a bank of G1000 tones[ many from the jv series], after touch,..there are so many features over the 800 that I would tell you to skip the 800 in favor of the 1000..
