Burkels... please note I did say "Roland Arranger" above, not Roland in general. Roland's health as a company is probably fine (given the circumstances), but Roland's Arranger Division has had well published cutbacks and loss of market share. And a screeching halt in TOTL and MOTL innovation and new models.

How old is the G70 now? Five years or so? The E80 is essentially the same thing in a 61. A few things added, a few things taken away. But hardly a 'new' Roland arranger. And it is four years old. Roland used to have about the same three year cycle that Yamaha do. They are now two years late. And still no reliable word of new TOTL and MOTL product, just cheap toy arrangers with very limited capabilities.

If that's the sign of a healthy Roland Arranger Division, with huge European demand, I think we have a problem...
