Sorry Diki I don't mean to come across thst way. BUt you must understand I am paying a lot more then I can get the Roland and (Especially Yamaha since I sell them). Even with that I am waiting 6 weeks for it.

Knowing Yamaha I have a good feeling it will be a glorified Yamaha S900. I really don't believe Yamaha will stray far from the Tyros 2. More sounds, styles but the same OS and features. They are geared for the Home user and mimic the Clavinova series to a T which IS a home sesigned and marketed keyboard.

Knowing Roland and their Fantom series they are geared to the modern sounds and I am guessing not much will change there. I wish I could have tried one in a store. I KNOW Roland is a class company with great product.

I meant no slight on the G70.I apologize if I came off that way. I am a tad over zealous and perhaps looking to justify the $3000 expense.
