OTOH, if they continue to produce them for the European markets (apparently, Roland are fairly strong over there), it shouldn't be THAT hard to get them over here...
If European organists are prepared to import Electones from Japan; American arranger players can certainly import keyboards from Europe. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Even though RolandUS managed to balls things up over here royally, there's still the possibility that, as the economy rebounds, they (Roland Europe) may revisit the high end again.
Reports of Roland's demise have been greatly exaggerated. I'm told the radio silence about the replacement for the E-80 has more to do with the wrangling over the future of the Italian production facility, than it has over R&D.
In the meantime, were I to be stranded on a desert island with ONE keyboard for the rest of my life, I'd still be pretty happy to take a G70 
Likewise. As I said above, there's no compelling alternative to the E-80 in the current marketplace as far as I am concerned.
