Well, Ian, no, the E50 is no more a 61 note G70 than the S900 is a speaker version of the T2.

But it incorporates MANY of the sounds, and MOST of the features, rather like the S900.

You are prepared to make those compromises for a speaker and light weight on a Yamaha. Why not make them for a light weight, speaker-ed Roland (and you wouldn't have to make as much compromise on the action!)?

It still has that punchy 'in your face' sound the G70 has, and that's one of the main reasons anyone chooses the Roland's over Yamaha's...

Or is it only Yamaha's that you are prepared to make any compromise for...?

PS... 'Old system' on the Roland's? Do you actually use the 'rootless' jazz voicings, then, Ian? Other than this, what chording system is missing, on the Roland's?
