LOL, Fran...

I have to confess, I don't mind the light weight of the BK-9 at all! But, if Roland came out with a BK-10 using the same action, touch screen and build quality as the G70 (and all the features from the G70 that have gone bye-bye!), I have to confess, I'd probably ditch the BK-9 and go back to something 20 lbs. heavier!

For me, it's about capability, not weight!

Mind you, the E60 sported a 76 and speakers only 7 lbs more than the BK-9, and that had the touch screen... and that's only 2 lbs. more than an S950!

I think Roland could give us a touch screen BK with a decent 76 at under 30 lbs. easy. Leave off the speakers, it ought to be easy!
