Mike , I still don't understand the wide opinions 'terrible" to "great"..
It has to be more than personal taste..

Let me understand that you have the just released[week ago] Version 2, or is it just one of the OS upgrades?

It sounds like your G70 may be suffering from the "poor" style effects or something that others mentioned on the G70 release..

I have the G70 styles converted to the G1000, and out of the 285 factory styles..more than 60% are "great"..
Another 30% are still better than most of the competitors...and the remaining 10% lack something ,that I believe the G70 handles correctly..

Sounds are personal, and I prefer my G1000 bank of sounds over anything else I have played, with a few exceptions of individual sounds..

I have not tried the G70 yet, but I will totally be surprised if I do not like it.

Mike please confirm your true OS and if indeed you have version2...If you did not update on the last week...you do not have version 2...
