I was able to try the G70 today in my local music store. The price was $2679.00.

The 1st impression was that it was VERY WIDE (not long). I had trouble trying to navigate the board by turning on/off the left hand. I found the navigation not very intuitive.

The other thing that bothered me was when you put the Syncro button on, the LED does not flash the tempo like other keyboards. The only thing that blinks is the annoying EXIT button on the LCD screen that really bothered me.

I was not very impressed with the keybed of the G70. I was expecting to be blown away by all the hype, and that just didn't happen. I actually enjoy the new keybed in the T2 better.

The Piano and the Organ sounds were very good, but when I picked a Rock style, and started groovin, I thought the sounds and the style sounded kind of cheezy. I didn't get the LIVE BAND experience that I was expecting.

Admittedly, I did not spend more than 10 minutes with the board, so my opinion is based on that. I'll probably try it again in the future, but I wont be running to do so.
