I have a problem with you saying that RolandFans Reviews is balanced. How can you have an insight into a G-70 review if you have never played the G-70? I believe what you are reading in Rolandfans review is the anger and frustration that he is expressing because he is unhappy with the new release compared to his VA series ( which I can understand). I also think that he is not being very unbiased by giving it 3/10 --"it sounds like crap" Ratings of 3/10 for sound are usually given to Kbs that are sold at walmart for $200. Further, the statement that one keyboard "blew away" another keyboard is just inflammatory. Kbs in this category have similar technologies, and it is not until you go into the realm of OAS/softsynths that one leaps in terms of sound quality.
As I mentioned in another thread. All these top model aranger keyborads are very similar and are really not that different. Each keyboard has its pros & cons. They are ultimately chosen by consumers based on personal preference. Remember, one man's barn is another man's castle. So, to say one Kb is superior to another can't be the case. One has to take into account the frame of reference and ask the next question, superior for what player & why?
