Good points! Thing is I've noticed that many seem to forget one important letter in the GW-8 title..., and that's the L that comes after the number 8. The GW-8L IS a huge hit for the latin community. Roland was smart in creating multiple versions of this one arranger to cater to a wider range of musicians. Very smart business decision there. Especially considering the economic times.

I was up in Erie not too long ago at a local store playing some of their keyboards. The hour I was there I witnessed several people of hispanic decent ask the sales reps about the Roland GW-8L. It's a big hit for sure.., and has gotten a lot of attention for it's Latin styles.
