Fran I believe that you found a keyboard that was made with you in mind and that’s great. I felt that way with the Kn7000 – there was no keyboard made that could compare in the Big Band are.
The Yamaha and Korg may run a bit behind in the Big Band but in other areas there is very little to compare. Here is where I agree with Ian.
Many of the Technics owners that have crossed over to Yamaha and Korg but have not sold there Kn7000 and that’s just fine. I played the G70 once maybe I should have bought one, but the weight - OUCH!
After reading your post which normally carries a touch comparison with the G70 and other keyboards; and the way you praise it, (and there is nothing wrong with that), If I bought one I would be afraid it would never reach the expectation that you have given. It did look like a real Pro-Keyboard.
