Ian:

I agree. The best TOTL is purely subjective. I selected the T3 because of the SA2 voices for woodwinds and its overall sound quality appealed to me. I liked its more CD sound, as many call it, and since I mostly compose and record it works for me. However it was a close competition with the Korg PA2X and if I played live events I might have gone that direction. I also listened to Internet demos of the Roland Arrangers and found a lot I liked about their overall sound. Plus the G70 looks like it is well built. I wish i could have demoed a G70 or E80 but there were none to be found. So for me there were just a few discriminating items that led me to the Tyros and I could have easily bought the Korg. They are all very good and I could live with any of them. I wouldn't mind having all three. I plan to take a close look at the new Roland BK arranger box.

Yes, I hope the PA3x is great. We need more choices and competition.
