Quite the reverse, Ian. Certain ASPECTS of what I currently play are the best available at the moment, but nobody sane would try and intimate that the old G70 is the 'best possible thing'.

As I said, there are several other manufacturer actions out at the moment which don't, IMHO, feel any significantly different to the FSX. The big thing about the FSX is, it was such a HUGE improvement on previous Yamaha keybeds, a great deal of fuss was, and still is, being made of it. But, the truth is closer to being that all they did was play catch-up to Korg and Roland. At the price point it comes in at, it is VERY hard to justify saying the FSX is any BETTER than say an M3 or a Fantom action (or a PA3X action or an E80 action). It's a nice, light synth action. Like many others.

But ask anyone who has moved on from a G70, and you'll usually find the action one of the things they miss the most. Might even be the ONLY thing they miss! wink
