I had a Roland em2000 which I bought about 8-9 years ago at Sam Ash. I went back after the VA7 was released and they told me that they were no longer carring roland arrangers since they now belong to the CK divison. So that was it for me and Roland, never bought one ever again. I did try the G70 at the Sam Ash in NYC a few months ago. but I didn't like it, it reminded me of the older Roland sound with the winey bass lines. Also I haven't really seen any roland arrangers in GC or SA for over 7 years.
