Good points...

Only thing I'd take a bit of issue with is the comparison of the G70 with the NP30, which is like comparing diamonds and soot! Both carbon...

I actually CAN play piano pretty decently on the G70 (you've got used to doing at least limited piano on even the PSR keybed, so I know you know it can be done!), but that NP30 keybed is featherweight, without even a TRACE of key mass and resistance, IMO. It might be piano SHAPE, but that's about where it stops.

Few people that have ever played a G70 have anything but unqualified praise for its' action, even though many don't like the weight penalty you get for all that extra key mass...!

I have said for quite a long time that we need more than self-serving marketing division descriptions of key feel, and need some sort of common descriptor of TRUE weight and resistance to allow for a better written description of their feel. I hate to say it, but IMO, the NP-30 needs to be described as UN-weighted, at least if you are going to use semi-weighted to describe things like the G70.

Just as not all 61's feel the same, 76's vary wildly too. Yamaha. as a piano manufacturer in the truest sense of the word, should feel ashamed to use the term 'piano' and 'graded touch' for this keyboard. I'm sorry, but if you can't bring yourself to play piano parts on a G70, there's NO WAY you could recommend this (or the DGX's) to anyone wanting to play a piano part. If you needed even MORE proof that neither the DGX's nor the NP-80v are anything BUT arrangers (despite Yamaha refusing to market them in the arranger division), the fact that even YOU wouldn't want to play piano on them should be all you need!
