I have supported weighted and semi-weighted 73-88 boards for a while now. I love my G70. But, for those who are out and about alot, especially for just a couple hours, I now feel that a good synth-action 61 is perfectly OK for 90% of us. The thought of taking the G70 out makes me hesitate. Maybe if I was playing full time and doing 3-4 hour gigs it would be worth it. But for just an hour or two in a small venue hardly makes the lugging worth it.

BTW, the G70 is 34 lbs - not really that bad, but the size and configuration also make it cumbersome. Add another 10 lbs for a quality case and you want to avoid any steps you can.
