From what I can see..., (unless I completey missed it) ALL of the GW-8 models will have the "western styles" covered, but each model has an additional set of sounds and styles "outside" of the western set that tailer to a specific region.

Basically for those of us in the US that want a western version.., well we got one, but it appears that model for the US will also be the latin version and on top of all the weestern styles will include an additional set of styles and sounds for latin music. Perhaps Roland is taking advantage of the fast growing hispanic population in the US. That's totally cool with me though because personally I'd rather have the latin version

I don't agree with the latin version being the only one assigned to the US. Why can't we have a choice? I'm very sure that many here would want the GW-8(E)as well.
