Diki quote.."In the meantime, they went out on a high note. I now have a backup G70, and, as I have said for a long time, nothing exists from ANY manufacturer that does what it does best... I have no problem envisioning playing it happily for as long as I can lift it! Were I to need a 'pure' arranger for solo gigs, I might take a look at Yamaha, if they make a 76. In the meantime, five years and counting, still getting wow! comments from everyone I play with, and not the SLIGHTEST desire to move away from it..."

I am in agreement with Diki...I too am more than content if this was the last keyboard I would own....I also found it to be the best all around keyboard I ever played...

When Roland does release a new model (and they will.. )....it will have to be something special to make me change...just as the G70 did with my G1000...a deciding factor for me would be the same quality I found in the G70 ..with the added media player from the Prelude...
