I've got to agree with 95% of what you say, Diki. The G70 keybed is exceptional and so is the piano sample. But, because the drawbar section is handicaped, I feel that brings the G down a few notches in the "gotta have" category. Keeping in mind what you said about us wanting one light keyboard, I would have to say that at least the Yammies and probably the Korgs for that matter give equal or better sounds and styles in many areas. For me (that's me only), the great G70 keyboard and it's piano were not enough to keep it in my stall. It's way too heavy and awkward to cart around. I can translate what Roland styles I need and the pianos are pretty darn close. That leaves the heavy keyboard - no thanks.

But in all, you are pretty right in in your observations. I do need the drawbar sounds, and the XK-1 is the best yet IMHO.
