I'm sure we will see a "next G" with the new features of the VA-7 and the features missing on the VA-7. But the Va-7 is not the replacement for the G1000. I would look to the near horizon for the Replacement or updated version "G", I don't think we will see it for several months though..Word has not come from the regional Roland rep yet, and that reafirms my belief that the VA series is the Home Piano store line and not the Pro line MI store line...Fran
