you have a severe blind spot on this subject,
and you stubbornly hold to it. good for you, but the rest of us find lugging a lot of weight a very big factor,, especially when we are not talking HUGE differences in how our performances will come across with lighte equip
Mo, I am not trying to convince anyone to use the top heavy gear, but to show a perspective that maybe we aren't looking at....
As a comparison I will use the two boards that I owned at the same time period...The E-60 and the G70..
The difference in weight is just under 18 pounds....not a big difference...and when you compare what you (I) gave up....it turns out to be a No Brain er...
Not only is the G70 a better sound bank of sounds (maybe a lot is due to better converters), but the samples are superior..
If you owned just the E-60..you would not notice or be aware how much better the G70 does sound..
Secondly, the E-60 has a nice key bed, but not the great key bed the G70 does...and it has after touch..
3rd....the extra 2 real time parts the G70 gives over the E-60.
4th...A vocal harmonizer that many agree is the best on any keyboard..
5th...the EQ and balance of mic and instruments with in the G70..can eliminate a mixer..
The separate outs and other routing's available on the G70...
These are just quick comparisons of two keyboards that I like..and 18 pounds difference doesn't come into play for me..with all the options I would not have...just to save 18 pounds...
Now what if you grab an out board , Harmonizer, and a mixer, etc..there is the added weight that brings it to the same....and you still are playing the inferior unit..
Imagine if I made these comparisons to boards I dislike..
At least the E-60 plays better than the PSR and non Pro PA series key beds...(the key beds that I totally do not want to play...bad enough with the Prelude..
)..
