Hi Zuki
The reason that I bothered with the G70 is the same as I bothered with the VA. It does the functional job I need it to do very well.
I think that several other keyboards I have either owned or tried out sound better than these two Rolands. However, it is possible to make them sound acceptably good and they offer the particular functionality that I wanted.
In other words, I am knowingly sacrificing some sound quality to get the specific functionality I was looking for.
All instruments are a compromise. The G70 was the most suitable compromise I could find at the time, for the relatively low price I paid. That doesn't make me blind (or deaf) to it's shortcomings though.
