Why would anyone feel bad about their Roland just because a new model isn't forthcoming..? When all the other arrangers finally catch up to us, and produce great live sounding arrangers with everything you need to easily edit compose and tweak styles already onboard, premium quality construction, TOTL keyboard actions (and a 76! ), and easy sound expansion, well, even then I doubt I'll be worrying.

Are they perfect? Just like everything else, no...

But I have to admit, strand me on a desert island (get in line, Froggy ) with a G70, and I could rest happy. If you can't make great music on just one of these, you can't make great music. Even give me the choice of what to take, and it would still be the G70...

I don't need Roland to make another model EVER... if and when they do, fine, I'll take a look, but I skipped twp generations going from G1000 to G70. Unless something comes out RADICALLY advanced (whatever that means) or has a Chord Sequencer (unlikely), I'll probably pass...

If you are anxiously waiting for a new model, it just means you are not spending enough time on your own playing, and on learning what your current arranger will do. Because dig in deep enough, there's enough in any of these TOTL arrangers to satisfy you for life...

JMO....
