Overall, listen again to Fran's FIRST, lightly edited version. For an over four year old, discontinued model that you have little respect for, I think it holds up VERY well, and compared to the Audya, $1500 MORE than it's original street price, it makes the Audya look like an overpriced boondoggle.
No, my friend, you mean nice try, no güiro?
Well, I did say the G70 was tied with the PA2XPro, and tied for third place amongst these TOTL arrangers is no shame.
It was Fran's idea to pit the G70 against three newer keyboards.
I'm just giving my opinion on how it sounds
compared to the other three when playing an SMF....no doubt it does have some great features that still hold up well today, but Frank was not comparing features in this thread.
