Pedal can only bend up or down.

The SA Guitars provide some sort of relief from the wheel in that they will bend according to velocity and/or note interval...very handy.

I like a very light arranger action and the S900 does pretty good...solo piano playing is a different story for me...I really only feel at home on an 88 note hammer action...semi-weighted is too light and just doesn't give the right feedback.

I must admit, the G70 does have a nice keybed....hopefully they will provide software upgrades to cure the flaws in the arranger section...OS version 3.01 didn't seem to fix it....must be frustrating.

Yamaha has a new lightweight digital piano, the P85...based loosely on the NP-30...88 graded hammer keys and only 25 lbs...I will get to try one on the 27th when I do my first road trip in many months.
