George is shipping me a Roland GW-7 and a Roland SH201. I'll use the SH 201 on top as a "traditional" synth and the GW-7 on my right hand for piano, vibe, etc. presets.

Thanks, George...OH, Boy, New Toys!

Last choice: An SD-5 or an E 80. SD-5 was the hands-down winner, until I really looked into the "riff" function (it's not a looper, like I thought), lack of jazz styles and incompatibility of SD-1 styles, plus no new styles for the SD-5. Really would miss the 13 note Ketron foot controller if I switched to Roland. Seven just isn't enough without major revamping of technique.

Special thanks to DonM again for advice on Midjay, G 70, E 50, etc.

I'll let you folks know shortly after FedEx arrives...
