Seeing as how you are a piano player, I think you would be lost when it comes to the Tyros. As the G70 and the PA2x are both 76 notes, I would suggest that either of these would be more suitable, probably, to your style of play.

In my view, they are as good as each other, just different, if that makes sense to you??

I think if you bought either one you would be happy.

They do sound different in some areas (live piano for example, which on the Roland is superb) and have quite different operating systems, so you would have a steep learning curve for either.
But I would have to shade the Roland as a little more understandable at first. But you will fly with either after initiation!!

Having said all that, the Tyros also has a fairly easy operating system, and also sounds very good, and its 3rd party support (non-factory) is HUGE, the envy of all the other arranger keyboard users!! Well, talking for myself anyway!

So, although we can suggest all we like, you really REALLY must go to a shop for a listen and play them, and press some buttons and see HOW they work and to see if you are comfortable with the operational aspects.

This you must do for yourself, we cannot do this for you!

Although in the case of the G70 you might not want to be too tardy.

I still stand by my original paragraph, however, that as a piano player it would come down to a choice between the G70 and the PA2xPro.

Cheers

Nobody, including Guitar Center, or any other music stores in the Twin Cities area had a Roland G-70 or Korg to test drive. One had the Tyros2 but I am not a fan of Yamaha keyboards. My dad has a Roland ??? and I love the piano sounds. I was able to get a really good deal on a G70 vesion 3 so I ordered it. Should have it this weekend.
