Fran, I wish I had known about the E50 a couple of weeks ago. I ended up buying Uncle Dave's PSR-3000, but might have been interested in an E-50. The E50 would be a great, light substitute for the G70. All I could offer up is an even trade, but this darn 3K is pretty nice little board in itself - much different than the Rolands; superior in a few categories and lacking in others. There's really no way to argue Y vs R, they are so different in the subjective areas. Good luck good friend.
