I know every arranger company repeats styles into the next model which is fine because they are styles I would miss if were not repeated, but in my experience Korg through-out the years has always had a large number recycled styles from model to model.

As far as my hearing, its fine, nothing wrong here, I have to say the E86 was a great arranger for its day. Roland’s arrangers during the late 80’s to mid nineties out classed many arrangers out there. But I just find Roland from G800 to today’s g70 has not taken that leap that many other arrangers (Korg, Yamaha, Ketron) as far as styles. I listen to styles of the G70 and it still reminds me of that winey bass line from years ago. We don’t have to agree and when it comes to Roland, since you have your tastes and I have mine. I am former Roland owner (RA90 & EM2000) and when I replaced the Em2000 with the X1, it was night and day.
