Well, there is one thing that makes the PA800 the winner over anything in it's price range, SAMPLER, period. Now speaking from the other side of the sea, the oriental community does not care about a good piano or more effects to make the sounds better. To each his own, the G70 is a great keyboard but the PA800 is a different beast, also G70 is heavy, no speakers, and should be compared more to the PA2x as far as keys,weight,price,flagship arranger etc
