I think the Genos sounds fantastic on the demos I have heard. And Yamaha have addressed a couple of issues with the revo drums and the playlist. But it is just too expensive for many people, myself included. And for that kind of money, you should get top of the line harmony which it does not have. I would stick with the 970.

Nobody asked but best bang for buck if you don't need harmony-used E-A7. If you want harmony a used PA900 which is what I have or a PA1000.
