For my money, Roland has always been my choice because you can do so much on the fly and it really sounds like a band. They a lot of buttons on the board so you don't have to go into menus for things like transpose, ect. I play the G 1000. I've tried the G 70 and I like it. I've just recently acquired a Ketron Midjay which I love. It's a light box that works as an arranger as well as a place to store midi, mp3, and wav files. The drums and bass are the best I've heard on one of these boards. So far the only drawback to it is the compression. The sounds are a little too compressed for my taste. But it's still one hell of a box. Good luck with your search.

Ciao,

Joe
