Nice to hear someone that has direct and immediate experience with the difference between early G70's and brand new ones. SO MUCH of the negative hype here comes from people that have never played a V3 G70, only played one when they first came out (or forgot to upgrade one they were trying), and simply assumed that a mere OS upgrade could not make so much difference. Despite me and a few others extolling it (V3), few I think really believed it...

Well, here's the proof!

And Dennis, congrats on a remarkable deal from Roland. For shame on them for trying to pass off such a beat up one as 'factory demo', but HUGE kudos to them for making it right in such a spectacular way!

Now go off and turn your brand new manual into something that resembles the factory demo one!
