These threads wouldn't go like this if the buyer of the arranger were a bit more honest and simply said that they were buying something just to try it out.
"Cannot wait to add this awesome board into my act, or wherever" is completely misleading. 'Cannot wait to hear this for the first time and decide if I like it' would have been a lot closer to the truth.
And, let's face it... if he hated the G70, who on earth expects to like a considerably lesser model with most of the same sounds, styles, and OS in it? A crazy optimist is all I can think of!
Wasn't the VA7 somewhere around the price of a PA800 (or more) when it came out, too? Zuki payed about a grand for the E60, and expects it to better a @$3k arranger. Just not going to happen... You get what you pay for

Short attention span theater...

Tune in next week for another brief tryout...!
