Nowadays we're talking great vs a tad greater...today's MOTL arranger keyboards are terrific sounding instruments.

It's not just the 20 lb difference...when the instrument is also big and bulky, it can feel like a lot more.

I could probably use a Tyros3 in a soft case, which would weigh about 35 lbs max, if I want something even better than my S910, but the latter is such a great sounding instrument on it's own merits, and works so well for my type of gigs, I really don't need to use the former.

Plus, when I get home after a gig, I just whip it on the stand, plug in the extra adaptor and pedal, and I'm good to go, because it has great sounding on-board speakers.

I'm certainly not going to try and convince the die-hard G-70 users, or anyone else that plays a heavy keyboard, to go with something lighter...I'd be wasting my time, just as much as they'd be wasting theirs trying to convince me to use something big and heavy that I'd find a nuisance to gig with...and that would sound and perform no better, in my opinion, than my S910.
