Yeah, but those other Roland's are still using Velocity Switching man.., and yes those too sound very good. I don't however think those models give you the level of customizing that the V-Piano offers though. This new unit is all about the acoustic piano..., they focused on it and gave you more tools.., and even if they reached back to older technology..., what's wrong with taking something older and making it better???? What do you think Super Articulated Voices are? It's velocity switching tweeked out on crack. Old technology being used in a new way. I'm sure Ian would agree on that one as those SA voices sound damn nice. They improved upon older technology and are selling a crap load of Tyros and S900's because of it.
