Until Roland can field something that really IS new and groundbreaking, there seems little point for new TOTL product. Hopefully, there's enough back stock to keep those of us that still prefer the things (like I said, they are still considerably more advanced than Yamaha and Korg in many areas) in spare parts for a while!
And forget landfills! A good friend of mine is happily gigging my old G1000, probably for years to come, as well. You build them right, they don't NEED to go to the landfill... 
And I thought Seamaster got his G70 at a landfill...boy, was I wrong.
I hear ya...the only new things were the SuperNATURAL™ sounds that I believe originated on the Atelier...not too shabby, but not quite up to SA1/SA2 levels.
But you're right, it would not be realistic to produce another G70 unless there are significant enhancements...perhaps a version of the V-Piano's engine that could be applied to other voices as well?
I imagine there are some G70 left...Fran had said one time ( several months ago) that he knew where there were a few.
I know there are still brand Tyros2 available in some areas...a buddy of mine bought one last week....I'm actually thinking about one, myself....depends on how good the next S-series comes out.
I like the T2 better than the T3...just a personal preference....probably why I like the S900 as well....a sweeter, more defined sound, IMO.
Did you get your little Data Base issue with the G70 sorted out, and have you had any luck with getting a nice primo backup instrument?
