Yep...I mentioned this in a previous post on SZ a few months ago.

I had a G70 for over a week...one with the latest OS and expertly tweaked by the owner who previously owned a G1000.

I like the Yamaha sound...it's that simple...I like smooth and compressed CD quality over the Roland's "live" sound....just my preference.

My friend Danny eventually wanted to sell/trade the G70 for something lighter and with built in speakers.

He was interested in the S900, and also the Korg PA-800...he managed to get to try the latter whilst on a business trip to Toronto(they don't carry Korg arrangers locally) and eventually ended up with the PSR-S900 which he still has and is quite happy with it.

We each "know" what we want to hear...Yamaha has that sound for me.

I really disliked the touch screen...again, just my own preferences...may be the bee's knees for someone else, but the lack of tactile feedback was something I couldn't warm up to.

Not to mention the weight, which was needlessly excessive in my opinion...but they are a few who can live with it because they want/need the things about the instrument that they feel are important for their type of playing and music.

Different strokes...
