I see you wrote "lightweight synth". If it's a good lightweight synth you're looking for I suggest you have a good look at the new Roland Juno Di.
128 note poly Fantom G sounds **has that great Roland 88 Stage Grand Piano USB File/Audio player Mic input with effects AND vocoder (mic effects are even independent from the tone generator) Very logical layout FULL SOFTWARE EDITOR that edits parameters not available on the synth (puts patch editing at a more pro level with the sofware) VERY LIGHTWEIGHT and (drum roll) Roland drops a Juno that runs on freakin batteries!
It's selling for $699 (not a bad price considering the poly, patch set, USB player, and mic input with vocoder.)

Yeah..., the old Juno-D just had a price drop too. It's down to $499 (sounds are decent.., but not stellar as the Juno-D has been out since 2004). If you choose to get the older Juno D model make sure you get the Juno-D Le. The Le model has TWICE the rom of the Juno-D classic. Here's a link for the NEWER Juno-Di model. Look at this new model as a Juno-D on STEROIDS. http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=1022&ParentId=72

Is he looking for an arranger or synth though? He posted "lightweight synth" in the title..., but if he's looking for a lightweight synth (and an arranger with good pianos and EP's) the GW-8 would go nicely with his other unit (as stated some limitations with the styles though).., but he'd be getting a synth and an arranger in one package that's lightweight...
