I don't know, Diki, I played a GW-8L(the Latin version) some time ago at Long & McQuade Music in Halifax...if this is a speaker-less Prelude, I'd be inclined to say a second hand E-50 would be a much better deal, even though it is 4 years the former's senior.

T'is a good thing you are happy with your G-70...I feel the same way about my S900, and if Yamaha never produced a new S-series, I would be quite content to remain with the status quo.

Then again, Yamaha may slip me a new S-series mickey in the future and I may succumb to it's charms, so I best not be held too accountable for that last statement.
