Jose, I don't know if price is a consideration for you or not, but my Yamaha Tyros cost me $2,400 (back when it first was introduced in Nov 2002). The Roland G70 lists for $4,999, and none of the Roland CK dealers (traditional piano/organ stores) in my area (San Francisco) are willing to budge on that ridulously high price. My guess is that the dealer cost for the G70 is somewhere around $2,500 (or less) which comes to a 100% dealer profit . . . highway robbery in my book. I hate to say this but traditional piano/organ store dealers have a distinct reputation among those in the know for asking huge profit margins, perhaps because they don't turn their merchandise around very quickly (and in high volume) as the MI Music Stores (Guitar Center, Sam Ash, etc) do. I only wish Roland would once again open up sales of the Roland G70 in MI music stores again (Guitar Center, etc). I feel that the death & demise of Technics arranger keyboards here in the US was due to fact that they could only be purchased thru the high keyboard markup tradition piano/organ stores. Just my opinion of course.

In the meantime, I'm a remain a very satisfied Yamaha Tyros player.
