The G-70 being discontinued is also a concern of mine too. I think the G-70 sounds great.., and IMO has one of the best acoustic pianos on any arranger (cough cough FANTOM X).., but IMO I don't think it'll hit as hard as the Korg PA would in the area of modern styles. It's almost hard to explain really. We all have different tastes in patch quality.., but Korg's patches have that little extra bite. It's on their synths and their arrangers. Both lines have that little extra bite ya know. Also that big thing is a sampler. I'll only be able to get so far by tweeking internally.., which I know on its own will yield amazing results using a Korg sound set.., but an arranger with a sampler that READS AKAI! Is a HUGE plus
