Yeah I really like the user friendliness of Roland's TOTL Boards (my first "real" board was a VA-7) and I wish I had the Cover/Makeup tools on my PA1-X.

If you combine that aspect of the G-70's ease of use with the Korg's "depth" and sampling capabilities you really WOULD have a killer Arranger.

In fact, the only reason I didn't go for the G-70 back when I bought a new board was the lack of sampling (I play my fair share of Dance/Top40/RnB) and the Keybed - a personal preference in the end, I much prefer the Korg's bed to the G-70, again **PERSONAL PREFERENCE**.

Unless Roland come up with something absolutely mind blowing with their next line of Boards, I'll be upgrading to the PA2x in the near(ish) future.....
