The E96 is a nice all around keyboard. It shows lyrics in midi files, has great layout of keys and buttons and has adequate speakers to monitor with. The general sound source is identical to the G series with the exception of some sounds. Most people will not miss what the G1000 offers on top of the standard sound sets. Some will.
The E series has a light action .... more spongy than the G's, and not as much resistance. Better play it first, and make sure it's had a cushy life ..... no one wants to buy problems. Roland keypads are notorious for wearing out ...play EACH note on any used kb before you buy. Inconsistancies are a sign of hard use, and soon-to-be breakdowns !
