Which would u buy if both were available at the same price...

I've had them both and still use the S970,......there are more then enough posts if you do a search on SZ on both of these great arrangers that will answer every question Pro/Con, you cant go wrong with either kb depending on what your looking for, and don't leave out the Roland EA7.....good luck.

Apples and Oranges. Each has so much to offer, but come in very different packaging.

The roland e-a7 which offers more for a lower price..
It would suit your name well..

Unless you need a VH... in which case, korg is the way to go..

Or if you want access to the full potential of user created styles and performances you should choose yamaha...
