Actually, I found Yamaha's mega basses much more punchy and warm than the basses in the GW-8...and this is through the same speaker system...KRK powered monitors.
The drums are more "live" in the GW-8(and hence, the Prelude) but the lack of style part EQ provides much less flexibility than the S700, and the former's pianos still suffer from unevenness in the middle octave, although that may not bother some.

It is surprising that one has to go all the way to Roland's TOTL arrangers for style/part EQ.
