At the NAMM show in January, Roland was offering E80 keyboards at a very discounted price to authorized dealers. I didn't order any until the week after NAMM. Not having many dealers, I thought I'd have no problem getting a few. However, on Friday, I was told Roland didn't have very many here in the USA and so they were out and apologized because I couldn't get any. I asked if more were coming and the answer was no. They were not shipping any new ones from Italy to the USA. So, I can say they've been discontinued! Not enough had been sold here in the USA to have Roland continue to stock them.
If any of you are desperate for an E80, you should be able to pick one up for around $2000.00 brand new if you can find a dealer who was luck enough to purchase one of the last ones.
