Rolandfan,

That's a question of personal taste. However, I have not ever played an E09. They're rare in these parts...I have played the GW7, which is quite similar, I understand - and I like the uncomplicated simplicity of its styles. I also like the smooth, refined feel of the Yamaha styles. They are very different from each other, but both appealing to me. Bottom line - to each his own.
