I went through a bunch of them back then...Roland really knocked the socks off everybody else when they introduced the E-20...Yamaha had nothing to compare at that time, and neither did Korg.

I remember playing the E-20 and being wowed by the quality of the styles and sounds.

I sold a lot of Pro-E's back then when I was doing some sales work...and the E-70/E-86 were also class acts, to be sure, as well as the RA-series modules, quite something at the time...great chord recognition features.

Yamaha really caught up with the introduction of the PSR-8000, in my opinion, but before that, Roland had the edge.
