Sparky, The EA7 has no SN sounds... the BK9, only has 22 SN sounds..

The EA7 and the BK9 have no VH..

The EA7 has 7 assignable buttons, 6 pad buttons, easier OS.. and sampling that covers the bases..

Although the BK9 has audio keys, I found them useless, wanting to use them with rhythms...glitchy... In fact the EA7 pads worked better..

As for my preference with the G70... other than audio/media play, it has more useable features than any keyboard to date.. Not just Roland , but all competitors..

Do I miss the audio player lacking on the G70?... Not at all, I always have this backup... namely my cell phone..
