Ha ha...after that healthy dissertation, Diki, I'd ALMOST buy a G-70 myself, and that's saying a lot since I had one here for a few weeks and thoroughly enjoyed examining how Roland still does things, much as they did in the past when I used to demo them (the E-70 in particular).

For the most part, it's good to see they kept nearly all of the features that I thought were great(no chord sequencer, unfortunately).

I also think you might have convinced Trident, and hope no one else who is reading this forum tries to get the instrument in which he is interested.

Not a bad summation...not bad at all.
