John:

From the various demos of the G70 I've heard it has a wonderful warm live sound that, at least to me, is still superior to any current Yamaha or Korg Arranger. It certainly sounds better than my Tyros 3 where drums, bass and piano are concerned. As you noted where the Yamaha is superior are the right hand sounds. The SA and SA2 Trumpets, Tenor Sax, Guitar, Harmonica,etc are just so realistic and a joy to play. That's the reason I keep the T3. I no longer use it as an Arranger as the Styles and their sound just doesn't cut it for me. I use the Motif to create my own "Performances" (which are basically similar to styles). It's very easy and the results superior to styles. Then again my needs are very different from most of the members on this forum. I don't gig. I compose and record my own music, make CDs and distribute them to people who enjoy my work. It's a hobby. That said, if Korg or Roland released an Arranger with right hand sounds equal to Yamaha's SA/SA2 I would trade in the T3 immediately. My hope is that Yamaha will add SA/SA2 voices to the Motif successor. One other question: What is the Dynamic Arranger feature you mentioned?
