I find that the midi playback is the biggest (maybe ONLY)edge that the G1000 has over the 9kpro. The Yamaha has a better acoustic piano, FAR better organs, and the list goes on. The performance controllers are pretty complete in both units but the 1000 is not as quick to figure out. After a time, both are easy to navigate, but the Roland needs more setups. The 9k is a breeze to drive - right out of the showroom!
Go ahead, Fran.......
